Dutch PM Rutte: intra-party divisions slow deciding top EU jobs

The Netherlands Prime Minister Mark Rutte on Monday said that the process of alloting European Commission jobs was "unbelievably complicated" and that it is not certain whether a decision will be made by Tuesday.

Rutte declined to comment on reports that Dutch politician Frans Timmermans has emerged as a strong candidate for the European Commission Presidency.

"It's just unbelievably complicated. You have so many political factions," Rutte said, adding that some of the factions remain divided among themselves.
