President-elect Ursula von der Leyen has presented her team and the new structure of the next European Commission. The new Commission presented on 10 September reflects the priorities and ambitions set out in the Political Guidelines and is structured around the need to address the changes in climate, technology and demography that are transforming our societies and way of life. The new College will have eight Vice-Presidents, who will steer the work on the most important overarching issues, such as an economy that works for people. The Commissioners are at the centre of the structure of the new College and will manage the expertise provided by the Directorates-General. Three Executive Vice-Presidents will have a double function, being both Vice-President responsible for one of three core topics of the agenda and Commissioners. Executive Vice-President Valdis Dombrovskis (Latvia) will coordinate the work on an Economy that Works for People and be the Commissioner for financial services, supported by the Directorate-General for Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union. Paolo Gentiloni (Italy), former Italian Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, will be sharing his vast experience in the ‘Economy’ portfolio. As a next step, the European Parliament has to give its consent to the entire College of Commissioners. This is preceded by hearings of the Commissioners-designate in the relevant Parliamentary committees, in line with Parliament's Rules of Procedure. Once the European Parliament has given its consent, the European Council formally appoints the European Commission, in line with Article 17(7) TEU.
