Danish PM: extra summit to 'add new names' to jobs race
By EUobserver
Talks on the EU's top posts were stalemated at the Thursday summit in Brussels due to disagreement over election of a new EU Commission president, Danish prime minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen told reporters Friday. The three leading political parties focussed on promoting their own candidate, which "stalled the talks", he said. An extra summit on 30 June could "open the game" and "add new names", he said.
