EUROPEAN COMMISSION - PRESS RELEASE : The Juncker Commission: A strong and experienced team standing for change
10/09/2014Today, President-elect Juncker unveiled his team and the new
shape of the next European Commission. After the European Union has
come through one of the most testing periods in its history, one of
the biggest challenges will be to convince citizens that things
will change. To deliver change, the Commission needs to be open to
reform.
The new European Commission will be streamlined to focus on tackling the big political challenges Europe is facing: getting people back to work in decent jobs, triggering more investment, making sure banks lend to the real economy again, creating a connected digital market, a credible foreign policy and ensuring Europe stands on its own feet when it comes to energy security.
The new way the Commission will be set up reflects these Political Guidelines, on the basis of which Jean-Claude Juncker was elected by the European Parliament.
