BRUSSELS – With the final allocation of portfolios within its executive branch, the European Commission, the European Union has completed its change of guard. The process took almost four months, following the European Parliament election in late May, and the end result was inevitably based on a series of compromises – to be expected for an EU of 28 prickly nation-states.
布鲁塞尔—随着行政分支——欧盟委员会内部的最终配置的完成，欧盟也完成了人事交替。整个过程从5月底的欧盟议会选举后开始，总共进行了近四个月，最终结果免不了经过了一系列妥协——对于由28个脾气火爆的民族国家组成的欧盟来说，这并不出人意料。
