Danish Minister Nominated For Eu Commission Post

Denmark's prime minister nominated her economy minister Margrethe Vestager, as commissioner in the European Union Commission on Sunday.



"If you want to hold an important position in the EU, this can only happen with the suggestion of an experienced and talented candidate," said Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt. "This is without doubt Vestager."



The Danish cabinet will be reshuffled next week with Vestager's resignation from the government.



Vestager is the leader of the Social Liberal Party, which selected tax minister Morten Ostergaard as its new leader on Sunday.
