Commission President-designate Jose Manuel Durão Barroso is expected to unveil his new Commission line-up during a meeting of EU leaders this Thursday (4 November), a task made easier by the resignation of the controversial Italian, Rocco Buttiglione.

This takes place on 4 and 5 November in Brussels.
