Probably a quick announcement

EU secret paper: These departments are waiting for Brunner

What role will Austria play in the EU Commission in the future? Apparently another very important one, as a secret paper leaked to "Krone" from Brussels suggests. Which mega portfolios are possible for Finance Minister Magnus Brunner in Brussels and which topics the other Commissioners could take on.

Almost exactly one month before the deadline set by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and yet much later than expected, the black-green federal government agreed to nominate ÖVP Finance Minister Magnus Brunner for the red-white-red EU Commissioner ticket after all. Since then, it has been quiet around the Finance Minister.

Three good options
Behind the scenes, however, there has been a lot of haggling over the allocation of portfolios for the next Commission. A preliminary state of negotiations, which was recently reported on by the political magazine Politico, was apparently also put down on paper and leaked to the "Krone". What role will Magnus Brunner and therefore Austria play in the EU Commission in the future? There are three variants that have one thing in common. They would all encompass important areas of responsibility.
