Riga - European Union commissioners from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania responded positively Friday to the announcement of their likely new portfolios. The proposed shape of the new European Commission will see all three Baltic states given different briefs than they had had in the outgoing commission.
Lithuanian commissioner Algirdas Semeta is set to take over the administration, auditing and anti-fraud portfolio from Estonia's Siim Kallas. Since July, Semeta has had the budgets and financial planning job.
Semeta told the German Press Agency
