EU: Barroso wins the support of an overwhelming majority of Democrats and Liberals
President designate of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Durao Barroso, will be supported by an overwhelming majority of Democrats and liberals of the European Parliament said Thursday Graham Watson, chairman of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe.
“Mr Barraso, an overwhelming majority of Democrats and liberals will vote for you today and confirm your appointment as President of the European Commission,” he said to Mr. Barroso, before the vote of investiture of the President Commission of the European Parliament.
“With our support, Mr Barroso can count on a critical friend to the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe,” he said.
Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, with 88 seats in Parliament, had put some conditions as to Mr Barroso commitments in three areas, namely the super-commissioners, balance men and women in the College of Commissioners and transparency.
“You’ve met our expectations in your speech yesterday,” said Watson.
Jose Manuel Durao Barroso said Wednesday he opposed the creation in the future Commission a super-position of Commissioner of Economic Affairs.
“There will be no Commissioners first and second place in the committee I chair,” he said in a speech to MEPs on the eve of the European Parliament vote on his nomination.
Mr. Barroso also hoped that the next Commission has a larger proportion of women than any previous Commission, ensuring inter alia that he fully intended to exercise his functions for the selection of commissioners and the future allocation of their portfolios.
