Füle announces preference for European Commissioner portfolio

New Czech European Commission candidate Stefan Füle announced his preference list for positions at the heart of Europe’s executive on Friday. He told the lower house of Parliament’s European affairs committee that he wanted to get the Energy, Transport or European Union Enlargement portfolio. The energy portfolio would be an important post for the Czech Republic. Chances of receiving the European Union enlargement portfolio for the Czech Republic are good, since the only other country that has shown interest in the portfolio is Bulgaria, a more recent EU member than the Czech Republic.
