Summary/Abstract: After the Brexit referendum, Lord Jonathan Hill resigned as EU commissioner of financial stability, financial services and capital markets union. The British government has proposed to replace him with Sir Julian King. Jean-Claude Juncker offered him, however, EU security issues. The financial services portfolio was granted to Valdis Dombrovskis, vice-president of the European Commission, who supervises the functioning of the euro area. Non-eurozone influence over the European Commission in the context of financial markets is in the Polish interest.
