	Barroso Commission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Barroso Commission is the European Commission that has been in office since 22 November 2004 and is due to serve until 31 October 2009.
		However, strong opposition from the European Parliament towards the first proposed composition of the Barroso Commission forced Barroso, as President-designate, to withdraw his proposed line-up without submitting it to a vote of approval on that date.
		Barroso's Commission faced another scandal when, shortly before the Commission entered office, it was revealed by United Kingdom Independence Party MEP Nigel Farage that Jacques Barrot, the commissioner from France, had been convicted of fraud in 2000.

	¡No Pasarán!: The EU as a Counterpart, Not a Counterweight, to the U.S.
		Barroso, then the Portuguese prime minister and now the nominated president of the European Commission, came to the point with almost bracing abruptness.
		To do this, Barroso would have to gather and harness behind him the potential new strength of smaller countries in the EU's new membership of 25, while artfully managing what is now frequently described in both France and Germany as their diminishing influence within the institution.
		Barroso explained that, excepting France, whose leadership is nominally right-of-center, he believed much of the opposition to the war in Europe had "an ideological basis" in the left.

		Yet, Barroso denies any wrongdoing over the cruise he accepted with his wife, his spokeswoman saying today stressing it was a private holiday and nothing to do with his job.

		The Carnation Revolution (Portuguese, Revolução dos Cravos) was an almost bloodless left-leaning revolution started on April 25, 1974, in Lisbon, Portugal, that effectively changed the Portuguese regime from an authoritarian dictatorship to a liberal democracy at the end of a two year process of a communist dominated military administration.
		Durão Barroso is expected to be a cautious reformer, and is considered likely to champion the interests of Europe's smaller states.
		With major countries like France and Germany eager to reduce spending, however, it is thought that Durão Barroso may be forced to compromise.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Special reports \| Defiant Barroso stands by anti-gay aide
		José Manuel Barroso, the new European commission president, yesterday risked provoking an institutional crisis in the EU by defying MEPs' calls to dump Rocco Buttiglione, an outspoken opponent of gay and women's rights, as justice and civil liberties commissioner.
		If a majority of the 732 MEPs votes down the Barroso team next week in Strasbourg, the EU will be left with a political vacuum, forcing reluctant national governments to propose and agree on a new executive commission or, at the very least, carve up a redistribution of existing portfolios.
		Mr Watson warned that support for Mr Barroso was "sapping by the day" and the mood recalled that of 1999 when parliament forced the resignation of the commission, headed by Jacques Santer, over charges of sleaze.
