David Cameron has lost his battle to prevent arch-federalist Jean-Claude Juncker from getting the EU's top job.
As expected, European leaders have backed Luxembourg's former leader to be European Commission President, in what critics argue is an "utter humiliation" for the British Prime Minister.
Mr Cameron has been campaigning against the appointment of Mr Juncker, arguing he would block reform of the EU.
He forced a vote on the nomination, breaking with tradition that the Commission chief is approved by consensus of the EU's national heads of government.
In the end only Hungary joined Britain in voting against Mr Juncker's appointment, which was approved by a margin of 26-2.
His nomination, which must be confirmed by a vote in the European Parliament, was announced by European Council president Herman van Rompuy on Twitter.
He wrote: "Decision made. The European Council proposes Jean-Claude Juncker as the next President of the European Commission."
