Juncker unveils new-look EU executive team

[BRUSSELS] The incoming head of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, unveiled a European Union executive team on Wednesday that handed key economic responsibilities to French and British commissioners but overseen by others in a new-look hierarchy.

Naming Britain's Jonathan Hill to a brief including banks and the integration of EU capital markets was widely seen as a gesture to British Prime Minister David Cameron, a vocal critic of Mr Juncker and his support for a powerful Brussels that Mr Cameron says could push Britons to vote to quit the European Union.

Pierre Moscovici, the nominee of French President Francois Hollande and a proponent of government spending to boost eurozone growth, will run economic and monetary affairs.
