The roster of candidates bidding to join Ursula von der Leyen&#8217;s next College of Commissioners is predominantly male, with only five of the 17 countries that have so far nominated candidates putting forth a woman. This means that only 29% of the nominees put forward so far are female &#8211; whereas in von der Leyen&#8217;s previous term in office 48% were women.<\/p>\n<p>Von der Leyen, representing Germany, had asked capitals to nominate two candidates \u2014 one male and one female \u2014 to give her leeway in appointing a gender-balanced College. No member state has yet obeyed that demand. It&#8217;s an early challenge for the Commission president von der Leyen as she aims to ensure gender parity during her second term in office.<\/p>\n<p>The College is the cabinet that steers the work of the EU&#8217;s executive arm and is formed of one Commissioner representing each of the bloc&#8217;s 27 member states. \u201cI want to pick the best-prepared candidates who share the European commitment. Once again, I will aim for an equal share of men and women at the College table,&#8221; she told the European Parliament plenary in Strasbourg following her re-election in July.<\/p>\n<p>EU governments have until 30th August to submit the names of their nominees to von der Leyen, who is due to start interviewing them this week. She is then expected to allocate policy portfolios to candidates in time for their appointment votes in the relevant committees of the European Parliament in September and October. With von der Leyen herself elected as president and former Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas on track to become the EU&#8217;s foreign policy chief and one of the Commission&#8217;s vice presidents, the most prestigious roles in the executive are set to be occupied by women.<\/p>\n<p>The four other women nominees come from Croatia, Finland, Spain and Sweden. The current Croatian Commissioner Dubravka \u0160uica has been nominated to stay on for another term, Spain has put forth environment minister Teresa Ribera in a bid to secure a high-profile climate or energy portfolio, while Sweden has also fielded a heavyweight in EU affairs minister Jessika Roswall. Finland has nominated MEP Henna Virkkunen.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2024\/08\/14\/european-commissioner-nominees-predominantly-male-as-countries-flout-von-der-leyens-orders\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2024\/08\/14\/european-commissioner-nominees-predominantly-male-as-countries-flout-von-der-leyens-orders\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/states-ignore-von-der-leyens-request-nominating-few-female-commissioners\/\">States ignore von der Leyen&#8217;s request, nominating few female Commissioners<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[274,15703,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-133063","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-eu","tag-female-commissioners","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133063","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133063"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133063\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133063"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133063"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133063"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
