At the European Council meeting in December 2008, the Heads of State or Government agreed that the Commission would continue to consist of one national from each Member State.
Tháinig Ceannairí Stáit nó Rialtais ar chomhaontú, ag cruinniú na Comhairle Eorpaí i Nollaig 2008, go mbeadh Coimisinéir amháin ag gach Ballstát ar an gCoimisiún Eorpach.
