Incoming Commission boss supports “Withdrawal Agreement” – Fitzgerald

The incoming EU Commission president has expressed her support of the Brexit Withdrawal agreement and Ireland’s position on it.

So says the Fine Gael MEP Frances Fitzgerald who was speaking in the European Parliament. Today Ursula Von Der Leyen met MEPs from the European People’s Party which is the European group her own CDU party in Germany is a member of.

EU leaders yesterday nominated Ms Von Der Leyen for the EU’s top job after weeks of wrangling over who should take over from Jean-Claude Juncker once he steps down later this year.
