Its president was José Manuel Barroso, who presided over 27 other commissioners (one from each of the states composing the European Union, aside from Portugal, which is Barroso's state). On 16 September 2009 Barroso was re-elected by the European Parliament for a further five years and his Commission was approved to take office on 9 February 2010.

During his term the Commission passed major legislation including the REACH and 'Bolkestein' Dire ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
