An informal dinner of Heads of State or Government of the EU Member States took place in Brussels, 27 May 2014 to assess the implications of the results in the European Parliament election, 22-25 May 2014 and to start planning the steps forward in terms of policy direction and choice of personnel to head the key EU Institutions for the coming years. President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy was given a mandate to explore the ways forward with political group leaders in the European Parliament and with EU Member State governments on choosing who would head the EU Institutions. The process was expected to take many weeks of discussions and negotiations. Earlier in the day Political Groups leaders in the European Parliaments had chosen EPP candidate Jean-Claude Juncker their support to seek a majority in his bid to become the next European Commission president. |
