President to be discussed at June European summit
Thursday, May 8th, 2008Jerzy Buzek next EP president
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008According to Handelsblatt there is a(nother) power-sharing deal between the two big groups EPP and PSE on the next EP president. Jerzy Busek is supposed to be in the front seat from autumn 2009 and then in early 2012 a Socialist (Martin Schulz) will take over.
This deal with a balance between the two big groups will therefore not give any indication the top posts for next year. You could only rule out Schulz and Buzek for Commission or European Council president but it is not that they were really in the game for that anyways.
