European Economic Affairs
Commissioner Pierre Moscovici said Monday Italian Economy
Minister Pier Carlo Padoan would be a "good candidate" to lead
the Eurogroup. "He has all the qualities to be a good head of
the Eurogroup, he is a man of experience, minister of an
important country, an excellent economist", said Moscovici.
He added: "it is a very fascinating election because it is
totally open" a week from the vote. He said "I will watch it and
then I will accept the result". Despite the clock ticking on
Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem's final meeting as
president in December, there is no obvious candidate to succeed
him.
