European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker will resume his full duties from Monday, when he will meet his successor Ursula von der Leyen.

Juncker, 64, had to undergo emergency gallbladder surgery earlier this month, forcing him to cut short his vacation and miss the G7 summit in France last weekend.
