Herman Van Rompuy is likely to be re-appointed president of the European Council at a European Union summit next week, an EU official has said.A former Belgian prime minister, the 64-year-old was virtually unknown on the world stage when he was appointed as the council's first president in 2009.
But he has become highly regarded for his skills as a manager of negotiations among the national leaders - essential in an institution where unanimity is required for major decisions.
His term expires at the end of May. He can serve a maximum of one more two-and-a-half-year term.
An EU official said no objections were being heard to the reappointment.
Because of this latest news, here is one comment that I had made on one end times blog relative to that news. Yet there has been no reply to my comment, nor would I expect there will be, but only time will tell?
You have not posted the latest news flash that Van Rompuy is going to be re-appointed as the president of the EU Council of Ministers when there was a time when you had said that would never happen. Without prejudice, does that suggest that you are still in a state of denial relative to the possibility that he could be the Antichrist? Many who posted suggested Sarko could be the next one in line for the presidency of the EU; however, the likelihood of that now happening is almost nonexistent? Even though you never actually said so in so many words, there was even one stage when you appeared to think yourself that Sarko was going to be the next EU president, and now with this latest news this does not appear to have happened. What that also means is that Van Rompuy is going to chair the EU Summits, and that eventually he might receive ultimate power as the full time president of the EU, as per usual, only time will tell though? Now wait to see if Sarko is re-elected as I am now thinking that he will not be and that he was only there to ease Van Rompuy into the role as the first ever president of the E.U.
