Critics happy with Barroso’s new team
From Rory Watson in Brussels
THE European Parliament’s main political barons signalled yesterday that they will end their power struggle with the Commission and are now ready to endorse José Manuel Durão Barroso’s team.
The MEPs’ formal approval will end the institutional crisis created at the end of last month when the Parliament made clear that it could not accept his original line-up.
The Italian and Latvian Governments were forced to replace their original nominees and Senhor Barroso, the President-designate, had to reshuffle two portfolios. Last night, the changes appeared to satisfy most of the criticism which had been directed at the commission team that should have taken up office this week.
Yesterday Martin Schulz, the leader of the 200-strong Socialist group, who had earlier been one of Senhor Barroso’s most vociferous critics, said: “We had four core demands. Three of them have been met. We appreciate that Mr Barroso has moved.”
