Margrethe Vestager wants a second mandate as European commissioner for competition, she told Belgian newspapers L\u2019Echo<\/a> and De Tijd<\/a> in an interview published this morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I would really like is a second mandate here at the Commission,\u201d the Danish official said. \u201cI have seen that it takes time to learn, train, do things properly and put things in place.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith a second mandate, I feel like we can do some fantastic things,\u201d she said, specifying that she would like to retain the competition portfolio.<\/p>\n

Vestager, one of the Commission\u2019s most high-profile officials, recently made news for slapping hefty penalties on Apple and Google, and has set her sights on Silicon Valley\u2019s tech giants<\/a> over the way companies collect and use personal data.<\/p>\n

POLITICO reported in November that French President Emmanuel Macron could back Vestager<\/a> as the next Commission president, although she might struggle to find broad enough support to secure the nomination.<\/p>\n

Asked about the possibility of taking the Commission top job, Vestager told the Belgian outlets: \u201cIt\u2019s the same thing in European and national politics, there are rumors everywhere. But I take it as a nice compliment. It is always nice to know that someone thinks you are doing a good job.\u201d<\/p>\n

Commissioners are nominated by the governments of their home country and are then assigned a portfolio by the Commission president. That could be a problem for Vestager, whose party, the Danish Social Liberal Party, is currently in opposition in Denmark, where the center right leads the coalition government.<\/p>\n

Plenty of commissioners have remained for a second term at the EU executive, including Vestager\u2019s predecessor Neelie Kroes, but they rarely if ever retain the same portfolio for consecutive terms.<\/p>\n
