EU: Von der Leyen has to rebuild her team

Brussels (dpa) - After the failure of the designated EU Commissioners from Hungary and Romania Ursula von der Leyen has to rebuild her team. The European Parliament's Legal Committee formally vetoed candidates Laszlo Trocsanyi and Rovana Plumb, calling them ineligible for their posts. For Von der Leyen the dispute is a setback. She is accused of having failed to thoroughly examine the proposals of EU countries. Now, the timetable for the approval of their team by the Parliament could slip.
