Following a debate with Ursula von der Leyen on her new team and programme, MEPs elected the College of Commissioners as a whole by roll-call vote. 370 MEPs voted in favour, 282 against, and 36 abstained.&nbsp;

To be confirmed, the College of Commissioners needed a majority of the votes cast (rule 129.7 of the EP Rules of Procedure).

This will be Ursula von der Leyen’s second term as Commission President, following the approval of her&nbsp;first Commission by MEPs in November 2019.

Ahead of the vote, Ursula von der Leyen presented&nbsp;her team and programme, wherein she confirmed the portfolio changes requested by MEPs&nbsp;in the course of Parliament’s evaluation&nbsp;process. “We are ready to get to work immediately,” she said, stressing that her Commission will always be devoted to fighting for freedom, sovereignty, security and prosperity.

After its formal appointment by the European Council via a qualified majority, the new European Commission is expected to take up its duties on 1 December 2024.
