	José Manuel Durão Barroso - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In opposition, Barroso was elected in 1995 as a representative for Lisbon in the Assembly of the Republic where he became chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee.
		José Manuel Barroso resigned to become President of the European Commission, and made clear that he had resigned as Prime Minister of Portugal in the belief that he would be succeeded by Pedro Santana Lopes, his second in the PSD party.
		Before his appointment, Barroso was expected to be a cautious reformer, and is considered likely to champion the interests of Europe's smaller states (which may be explained by the fact that his parents were from the municipality of Valpaços in Northern Portugal, at a time the poorest region of the EU).

	Portuguese PM the compromise EU candidate - World - www.theage.com.au
		Mr Barroso, a former Maoist turned economic conservative, emerged as the compromise candidate for the European Union's top policy job after an internal dispute over a successor to the influential Italian, Romano Prodi.
		France and Germany in particular were wary of the new president because of his support for the US invasion of Iraq but, in a compromise deal, they are likely to gain control of the EU's top economic posts, a move greeted with scepticism in some diplomatic circles given the poor state of both countries' economies.
		Mr Barroso, 48, who will take up his new job in November, admitted he was taking on a difficult job in attempting to balance the often competing desires of the 25-member European Union.

		Durão Barroso's designation also gives me pleasure because it demonstrates once more the Union's ability to reach agreement on thorny issues, just a few days after the Constitution was approved.
		We have gone through some difficult times and other difficulties will surely lie ahead, but we are tackling them in the right way and José Manuel Durão Barroso is the right person to hold this office of great responsibility and sensitivity.
		To Bertie Ahern too, who holds the helm of government of another country that represents an EU success story, I offer my compliments for the outstanding diplomatic skill he has shown in bringing the Union to agreement and unanimity on matters of great complexity.
