Factbox - The EU's top jobs and who might get them


BRUSSELS (Reuters) - EU leaders nominated Luxembourg's Jean-Claude Juncker to be the next president of the European Commission on Friday, but the job is just one of several top posts to be filled as the EU overhauls its main institutions for the next five years.

Leaders are expected to hold another summit on July 16 or 17 to agree candidates for posts ranging from the foreign affairs chief to the powerful economics commissioner, with a view to getting them approved by the European Parliament before the Commission's current term ends on Oct. 31.
