ヨーロピアンボイス紙:次期欧州理事会常任議長ドナルド・トュスク氏、個人チーム組成作業を本格化


Default: Change to:


The private office of Donald Tusk, who takes over from Herman Van Rompuy as president of the European Council on 1 December, is taking shape.


The office will be headed by Piotr Serafin, who was secretary of state for European affairs in Poland’s foreign ministry and worked in the office of Janusz Lewandowski, Poland’s former European commissioner.

Serafin’s deputy will be André Gillissen of Luxembourg, who works in the general secretariat of the Council of Ministers and is in charge of trade policy and relations with the Americas. Before that he was responsible for preparing European Council meetings and has worked at the EU’s delegation in Geneva.

Tusk’s economics adviser will be Jean-Pierre Vidal, a French official who has been working in the private office of Herman Van Rompuy since 2012. He was head of the European Central Bank’s office in Brussels in 2011-12 and worked at the ECB’s office in Frankfurt as deputy head of monetary policy in 2007-11, head of fiscal analysis in 2004-07 and as a senior economist in 2000-04.

Preben Aamann, a Danish official who is deputy spokesman for Van Rompuy, will be Tusk’s spokesman. Aamann was a spokesman for the Danish government during its presidency of the Council of Ministers in the first half of 2012. Pawel Gras, a member of the Polish parliament and secretary-general of the Civic Platform party, will also be a member of Tusk’s office.
