Juncker gets EU presidency

Jean-Claude Juncker has been confirmed as the next President of the EU's most powerful body.

MEPs voted him into the job at the European Commission despite strong opposition from the British Prime Minister David Cameron.

He is worried Mr Juncker will try to increase the EU's powers at the expense of individual countries.

Mr Juncker was ratified with 428 votes in favour, 250 against, 47 abstentions and 10 spoilt votes.
