Because of technical problems (no internet connections in my part of Belgium), there is no morning brief today. Apologies.
But I warmly recommend today’s Standpoint: Three jobs in one. A tough task ahead for the EU’s new foreign policy chief, by Antonio Missiroli, Director of Studies at the European Policy Centre in Brussels.
And at 15.00 Barroso will be in Parliament to discuss the decisions about the new top jobs. You can watch it live here or here.
