Who will run Europe?

After the 2014 European parliament elections, EU leaders will choose the presidents of the European Commission, European Council and European Parliament, the High Representative for foreign policy and the first full-time president of the Eurogroup. The secretary-generalship of NATO will be added to this package. The leaders will strive to achieve a balance – between big countries and small ones, north and south, east and west, euro members and non-members, the left and the right, and men and women.
