German Chancellor Angela Merkel wants a compatriot as the next president of the European Commission, local media reported Wednesday, apparently backing away from a demand that the European Central Bank installs a German as head. "The highest priority for Merkel is no longer the ECB but rather the Commission," reported the business daily Handelsblatt. The paper said Germany's leader views the head of the Commission as more politically relevant than the same role within the ECB.
