EU lawmakers clear Commission reshuffle after Hogan exit

The European Parliament approved on Wednesday a reshuffle of the EU executive forced by the resignation of Phil Hogan, the Irishman who had been in charge of trade. Lawmakers cleared the appointment of Mairead McGuinness, who was vice president of the European parliament when Ireland put her forward as its new commissioner. The members of parliament also approved Commission Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis to add trade to his existing economy portfolio.
