STRASBOURG Adidas Ultra Boost 4.0 Womens For Sale , May 28 (Xinhua) - - Who will become the next president of the European Commission (EC) remains up in the air following this week's informal meeting of the European Council.


It emerged Wednesday that some EU heads of government are underwhelmed by the 'spitzenkandidaten' (front runners) put forward by the political parties of the European Parliament (EP), including the leading candidate, former Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker.


Mr. Juncker is the candidate of the centre-right European People's Party (EPP), which will hold the largest number of seats in the new EP (213), and was widely touted as the man to replace outgoing EC president Jose Manuel Barroso. Yet Adidas Ultra Boost 4.0 Mens For Sale , British Prime Minister David Cameron remains opposed to Mr. Juncker's candidature, as do some other leaders.


Following the European Council meeting, German Chancellor Angela Merkel also appeared to distance herself from Mr. Juncker. Merkel did not rule him out as a candidate, but was firm in asserting that who gets the most important post in the EC should not be decided in a rush. Above all, she maintained that at such a critical juncture in the EU's history it was even more important to follow the spirit of the Lisbon Treaty.


This states that the European Council must "take into account" the EP elections. However www.ultraboost4-forsale.com , it is not obligated to choose a candidate from the EP's political groupings. It could, for example, still propose an outsider. Possible alternatives to the EP spitzenkandidaten that have been aired include Christine Lagarde, currently president of the IMF, Irish prime minister Enda Kenny (although he has publicly backed Mr. Juncker) Adidas Ultra Boost 4.0 Sale Online , Finnish prime minister Jyrki Katainen, and Helle Thorning-Schmidt, the Danish prime minister.


Merkel's stance appears to be something of a victory for Mr. Cameron, now under intense pressure at home following the stunning result of the eurosceptic UK Independence Party (UKIP), which won the most votes (26.77 percent) in the British poll.


It is no secret that Mr. Cameron regards Mr. Juncker and the Socialists & Democrats (S&D) candidate Adidas Ultra Boost 4.0 For Sale , the German Martin Schulz, as arch federalists. On his arrival in Brussels, Mr. Cameron said people running the EU institutions should "really understand" that they need to cede power to national capitals, so as to "build a Europe that is about openness, competitiveness and flexibility Adidas Ultra Boost 4.0 Sale , and not about the past."


The agony within the European Council follows the momentous results of this weekend's European elections
