New European Commission starts work
The new European Commission, headed by President Ursula von der Leyen (pictured), took office on 1 December 2019 for a period of five years.
There are 27 Commissioners, representing all the EU Member States apart from the UK. The UK has declined to appoint a commissioner due to Brexit and the General Election, prompting the Commission to launch infringement proceedings against the UK.
The Commissioners include the following, who might be of particular interest to IP practitioners:
- A Europe Fit for the Digital Age – Magrethe Vestager (Executive Vice-President)
- Trade – Phil Hogan
- Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth – Mariya Gabriel
- Internal Market – Thierry Breton
- Justice – Didier Reynders
Among the stated aims of the von der Leyen Commission are the transition to a climate-neutral economy by 2050 and the presentation of an EU approach to artificial intelligence within 100 days.
