President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen has named the next College of Commissioners.
Malta’s Glenn Micallef will be Commissioner for Inter-generational Fairness, Culture, Youth and Sport.
Ursula von der Leyen said, “Inter-generational fairness is a cross cutting topic. It affects all of us – and especially young people. It is about the right balance in a society. And I have entrusted Glenn to watch over it”.
“The key message is that wherever we come from, whatever our job title: we must all work together. We will have open debates. We will all be independent in thought and action. And we will all take ownership of what is agreed. This is the team that I am putting forward today.
On this basis, once the European Parliament has received the official letter of the Council in agreement with the President of the Commission, it may proceed with the formal proceedings for the nomination of the new college.
Always in accordance with its rules of procedure”.
