Mandelson said last year that he will not retire from the EU Commission when his current term as an EU Commissioner comes to an end. So there will be a vacancy for a new UK EU Commissioner and s/he will come from the governing party in the UK. And, unles there is a General Election next year, that party will definitely be Labour.
