But there is no agreement tonight,&#8221; he told reporters after the dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Michel said pan-European political parties had made proposals about the posts and more work would be needed to reach an agreement. He did not elaborate on the proposals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>POLE POSITION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Von der Leyen remains in pole position to stay on as European Commission president, buoyed by gains in the June 6-9 elections for her centre-right European People&#8217;s Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thirteen of the 27 EU leaders are from parties belonging to the EPP. With French and German support too, she would have the qualified majority she requires to be nominated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">France had previously weighed alternatives to von der Leyen, but with a snap parliamentary election called by Macron from June 30, the government now prefers EU stability. Germany has made clear it backs von der Leyen for another term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A trio of von der Leyen, Costa &#8211; a veteran socialist &#8211; and liberal Kallas would ensure a political and geographical balance among the top posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The leaders are due to make a formal decision at a summit on June 27-28. Von der Leyen would still then need backing from the European Parliament, which votes in its first session from July 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The full 27-member Commission, including the foreign policy chief, also needs parliamentary support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The leaders also discussed the next five-year legislative cycle, with a stress on common values, defence and economic competitiveness. They are due to confirm their &#8220;strategic agenda&#8221; guidance at the end-June summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The leaders should shortly have a report by Mario Draghi, former Italian premier and president of the European Central Bank, on boosting the EU&#8217;s economic prospects. In a speech on Friday, he said the bloc needed cheaper energy and a capital markets union to steer private savings towards investment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>European Union leaders ended a discussion on who should take the bloc&#8217;s top jobs for the next five years without agreement on Monday, aiming instead for a decision at a summit next week.
