And the EU presidency goes to…No not to Tony Blair but to Belgium PM
0|
The appointment of two little-known figures to the new top jobs in the EU has drawn a mixed response.
Belgian PM Herman van Rompuy was named President of the European Council, while Briton Baroness Catherine Ashton was made EU foreign affairs supremo.
The US welcomed the choice, saying it would make Europe a stronger partner.
However, the BBC’s Jonny Dymond in Brussels says there has been some dismay at the choice of two candidates with a low international profile.
