Today in the EU

With the EU elections just days away, speculations about the identity of Commissioner candidates are growing louder. If the new European Commission president is selected by July, they will have the whole summer at their disposal to form their College of Commissioners. But who is staying, who is leaving, and who are the new entries?

To understand better the situation at steak, host Evi Kiorri talked to Euractiv's politics editor Aurélie Pugnet.
