CRI听力:Juncker Nominated as EU Commission President
European Union leaders have nominated Luxembourg's former Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker to become the 28-nation bloc's new chief executive.
The decision came after weeks of haggling over who should be the next President of the European Commission, the leader of the EU's powerful executive arm.
EU Council President Herman Van Rompuy says all EU countries apart from the UK and Hungary have voted in favour of Juncker.
The EU summit in Brussels broke with a decades-old tradition of choosing the Commission President by consensus and overruled British Prime Minister David Cameron's opposition.
The 59-year-old Juncker still needs to be confirmed by the European Parliament before starting his term later in the year, taking over from Jose Manuel Barroso.
