Newspapers in Europe and the United States have widely reported the new team of European Commissioners under
President José Manuel Barroso.  There are many new faces, such as Benita
Ferrero-Waldner from Austria (External Relations and European Neighborhood Policy) and Janez
Potocnik from Slovenia (who will be in charge of Science and Research). The current
Commissioner in charge of enlargement, Guenter Verheugen, will become Vice
President and Commissioner for Enterprise and Industry, a function that also includes the important portfolio of
space. The consensus is that the new Commission will place a renewed emphasis
on the goals of the Lisbon agenda
to make Europe the most dynamic economy in the world by 2010.
