The Barroso Commission was the European Commission in office from 22 November 2004 until 31 October 2014. Its president was José Durão 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).[1] On 16 September 2009 Barroso was re-elected by the European Parliament for a further five years[2] and his Commission was approved to take office on 9 February 2010.[3]
Barroso was at first seen as the lowest common denominator by outside commentators, but his proposed team of Commissioners earned him some respect[4] before triggering a crisis when the European Parliament objected to some of them, forcing a reshuffle.[5] In 2007 the Commission gained two new members when Romania and Bulgaria joined the European Union.[6]
Barroso's handling of his office was markedly more presidential than his predecessors.[7] During his term the Commission passed major legislation including the REACH[8] and 'Bolkestein' Directives.[9] Under Barroso, the civil service in the Commission became more economically liberal.[10]
