The question of who will serve as the next Luxembourg commissioner under Ursula von der Leyen is yet to be resolved.

The Ministry of State said Prime Minister Luc Frieden was due to meet with the commission president over the coming days, following which a proposal would be made.

In the running for the position of EU Commissioner are CSV MEP Christophe Hansen, and LSAP commissioner and European leader of the Social Democrats Nicolas Schmit.

Although Frieden previously showed support for Hansen before and immediately after the European elections, he has recently appeared to be less certain about the choice.

Von der Leyen, who was re-elected as president on Thursday, insists that each country should nominate a man and a woman for the post of commissioner, unless one of the candidates is the previous incumbent.
