The new European Commission led by President Ursula von der Leyen has taken office, with a composition that includes three Baltic State commissioners for the first time. Valdis Dombrovskis (Latvia) will be responsible for the economy, Kadri Simson (Estonia) for energy, and Andrjus Kubilius (Lithuania) for defense and space. The new commission faces numerous challenges, including economic recovery, climate change, and staving off Russian aggression towards Ukraine. Brü〘n stated that she aims to create a more integrated and streamlined European Union that is able to respond effectively to these challenges.
The new commission also includes several high-profile members, such as the first-ever female commissioners from Latvia and Lithuania, and the youngest commissioner ever, Malta’s GlenNS Mikallefs. However, concerns have been raised about the Commission’s gender balance and lack of diversity, with only four women and no representatives from Africa or Asia.
Overall, the new European Commission is poised to tackle the many challenges facing the European Union, with a team of experienced and diverse commissioners. Only time will tell whether they will be able to deliver on their ambitious agenda.
