Formation
Election of the President of the Commission
See also: 2024 European Parliament election. To be elected Commission President, a candidate must be proposed by the European Council with a reinforced qualified majority (at least 72% of the states representing at least 65% of the population) and receive a majority of the votes of the members of the European Parliament (at least 361 out of 720).[9] [10]
On 17 June, an "informal meeting" of the European Council was held, where the heads of state and government discussed the next institutional cycle and their candidate for the Commission presidency.[11] On 25 June, negotiators from the EPP (Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Donald Tusk), PES (Pedro Sánchez and Olaf Scholz) and Renew Europe (Emmanuel Macron and Mark Rutte) reached a preliminary agreement on the nominations.[12] [13]
On 27 June, during the European Council meeting, national leaders proposed Ursula von der Leyen (EPP) as candidate for President of the European Commission,[14] after being named the European People's Party nominee in March 2024.[15] Hungary's Viktor Orban voted against von der Leyen and abstained on Kallas. Italy's Giorgia Meloni abstained from the vote on von der Leyen but voted against Costa and Kallas for their posts.[16] [17] [18]
In the following weeks, von der Leyen had bilateral meetings with EPP, S&D, Renew,[19] G/EFA[20] and ECR[21] groups to gather support for her re-election.[22] On 18 July, she presented to the European Parliament her "Political Guidelines", followed by a debate with MEPs.[23] [24] Ursula von der Leyen was re-elected president of the European Commission in a secret ballot, with 401 votes in favour, 284 against, and 22 cast blank or invalid votes.[25] [26]

Selection of the Commissioners
The President-elect of the European Union invites the member states to nominate commissioners in accordance with the rules set out in the Treaty on the European Union and by the European Council. The President-elect decides on the organisation of their Commission, reviews the nominees, and presents a college of Commissioners, with each nominated Commissioner being responsible for a specific policy portfolio. The President-elect also appoints Vice Presidents among the Commissioners The President-elect's proposed College of Commissioners is reviewed by the European Parliament in committee hearings.
Commissioner candidates
On 25 July 2024, President-elect Ursula von der Leyen sent the letters to member states asking them to officially nominate candidates for the post of European Commissioner before 30 August 2024.[114] [115] As she did with her first commission, von der Leyen called for member states to each nominate two candidates for the European Commission, a woman and a man.[116] However, Bulgaria is the only country to have followed Von der Leyen's request.[117] All the other leaders of EU member states have each nominated only one candidate, and most of them are men.[118] [119] Romania originally put forward socialist MEP Victor Negrescu but later put forward MEP Roxana Mînzatu, switching a male nominee for a female nominee.
On 17 September 2024, Ursula von der Leyen announced in a press conference the college of commissioners and their portfolios.[120] [121] The share of women in the proposed commission is 40.7%, down from 44.4 percent in 2019.[122] The average age of the new Commission nominees is 52, dropping from 56 in 2019. In terms of structure, there are six Executive Vice-Presidents, down from 7 (with 3 executive vice-presidents) in 2019. The proposed College includes five returning commissioners: three of them are for a second mandate (Šuica, Várhelyi, Hoekstra), while Dombrovskis would return for a third term, and Šefčovič for a fourth term. The portfolio repartition reflects the declared priorities, with a strong focus on competitiveness, industrial policy and defence.[123]
On 19 September 2024, the Council of the European Union adopted, by common accord with the President-elect of the Commission, the list of persons whom it proposes for appointment as members of the Commission to the European Parliament.[124]

Hearings
According to the Rule 129 of the Rules of Procedure of the European Parliament, the confirmation hearings are conducted by the appropriate committee or committees for each commissioner.[161] According to the Annex VII of the Rules of Procedure of the European Parliament, the parliament has to evaluate Commissioners-designate based on their general competence, European commitment and personal independence. It has to assess knowledge of their prospective portfolio and their communication skills.[162] Historically, the European Parliament has rejected at least one candidate during every mandate since 2004.[163]
On 3 October 2024, the Conference of Presidents of the European Parliament agreed on the calendar for the hearings to be held from 4 November to 12 November, and decided on the division of responsibilities among committees for the confirmation hearings.[164]
Election of the Commission
The College of Commissioners are subjected to the confirmation by a majority of the votes cast by the European Parliament. On 27 November, the new Commission was approved by Parliament, with 370 MEPs voting in favour, 282 against, and 36 abstentions. This corresponds to a 51% majority, the least supported European Commission by the Parliament since 1993, when it was given the right to vote on the college., and fewer than the 401 MEPs who voted for the election of the Ursula Von der Leyen as Commission President.[3]
After being approved by the Parliament, the Commission will be formally appointed by the European Council, acting by a qualified majority.
