MEPs give new team approval
Fonte: The Times
Manuel Barroso, the new President, had earlier been forced by MEPs to drop two of the original members and redistribute certain portfolios.
The reshuffle was sufficient to win the support of Christian Democrats, Socialists and Liberals, but not the Green, Communist and Eurosceptic members.
However, MEPs gave warning that they would continue to scrutinise individual commissioners and would press for their resignation if they failed to perform satisfactorily. In particular, many believe that Nellie Kroes, the future competition policy commissioner, will face inevitable conflicts of interest because of her extensive business contacts.
