EU parliament votes in von der Leyen's new top team
The European Parliament on Wednesday approved the new EU top team led by Ursula von der Leyen to take office next month, at a time of mounting challenges for the 27-nation bloc.
Lawmakers backed the composition of the next European Commission, with 370 votes in favour and 282 against, allowing for the new members of the executive body to officially start work on December 1.
