The trade portfolio is losing ground to the European Commission. Latvian Valdis Dombrovsky, the current vice president of the executive, takes over permanent responsibility for the trade, replacing the resigned (Irish) Philip Hogan.

Dombrovsky is in charge of the Eurogroup with Commissioner Paulo Gentiloni, while Myrade McGuinness is the new European Commissioner for Ireland, responsible for financial services and financial stability. Following the morning rumors, European Commission President Ursula von Der Lane made the formal announcement, forcing Hogan to reorganize the college after he stepped down. Myrade McGuinness, who has been MEP since 2004, is currently the Vice President of the European Parliament.

Global trade is in turmoil and I can not wait to work on such important issues, ”Dombrovsky said. “I still believe in the WTO’s reform, which is important for resolving trade disputes and we need it,” he said. He continued with China, “It would be great if we could end the investment agreement this year, but it should be desirable and able to deal with the imbalances we are experiencing.”
