European Union officials are considering an extension of the EU commission'...
BRUSSELS - European Union officials are considering an extension of the EU commission’s mandate should Britain be granted a long delay to its planned exit date, a senior official said on Wednesday.
British participation could change the political balance in the next European legislature, EU officials fear, as Britons are seen electing strongly eurosceptic lawmakers, boosting already growing numbers of nationalists who seek to weaken the bloc. That raises uncertainty over the next executive commission, which must be approved by European lawmakers. As a result, EU officials are considering extending the mandate of the existing executive led by Jean-Claude Juncker beyond its term which expires at end of October, the senior official said.
