Interesting EU-week ahead

 
This week will give more insight in what will be the political configuration of the EU institutions for the next five years. On Tuesday the new parliament groups will be adopted, and from Thursday to Friday The European Council will meet and perhaps put forward their candidate for Commission president.

If a qualified majority in the Council choose to support Mr. Juncker - who for PM Cameron seems to have become a symbol of integration unlimited - it will possibly undermine the belief that a reform process can be  carried out. That might provide increased support to those who want to leave the Union in UK and in other member countries.

Or  will the Council in one way or another follow up the conclusion from the mini-meeting at Harpsund earlier this month: First content, then names ?

The coming week will be interesting, but it can also be important for the Unions further development.
