EU leaders have chosen the Belgian Prime Minister, Herman van Rompuy, to be the first permanent European Council President.
The other top job created by the Lisbon Treaty - foreign affairs supremo - has gone to the EU Trade Commissioner, Baroness Catherine Ashton from the UK.
Both are seen as consensual politicians with little foreign policy experience.
Both had unanimous backing from the 27 EU leaders at the summit in Brussels, UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown said.
Earlier, the UK government said it was no longer pushing for former PM Tony Blair to get the presidency post.
Mr Van Rompuy had crucial French and German support. He has a reputation as a coalition builder, having taken charge of the linguistically divided Belgian government and steered it out of a crisis.

Θεωρητικά, ο κύριος που για την ακρίβεια θα είναι πρόεδρος του Ευρωπαϊκού Συμβουλίου, είναι πάνω από την Ευρωπαϊκή Επιτροπή. Θα εκπροσωπεί την ΕΕ στις συνόδους, θα προσπαθεί να φέρει τους 27 στην ίδια ευθεία, αλλά πέρα από αυτό... άγνωστο τι ακριβώς θα κάνει και πώς διάολο θα το κάνει.
/me είναι πολύ περίεργη. Όπως έλεγαν κάποτε και οι Skyclad... a well-cultured vulture feathers his nest, it's a chalet near Aix-en-Provence. The Porsche he drives has been paid for with lives κ.λπ. κ.λπ.
