France nominates Foreign Minister Sejourne for EU commission

France will propose Foreign Minister Stéphane Séjourné to serve on the European Commission after the surprise resignation of Brussels heavyweight Thierry Breton, President Emmanuel Macron's office said Monday.

Séjourné "meets all the necessary criteria," the Élysée Palace said, highlighting his previous experience leading the liberal Renew group in the European Parliament. The palace added that he should run a portfolio similar to Breton's, focused on "industrial and technological sovereignty and European competitiveness."
