On Monday 8 July, Sweden nominated the current Swedish Minister for European Union Affairs, Jessika Roswall, to become European Commissioner for the 2024-2029 legislature.
Ms Roswall said she was “very honoured” at a press conference with the Prime Minister, Ulf Kristersson.
If her nomination is accepted, it will be the first time in 28 years that a member of the Moderate Party, the Swedish liberal conservative party within the EPP, will occupy the post of European Commissioner.
