State of the Union:
Barroso leaves public unconvinced
Eight months ahead of European elections crucial to the future of the EU, the President of the Commission wasted an opportunity to mobilise Europeans in his last State of the Union address, says the European press the day after the speech.

State of the Union:
Talking to the hand?
The annual speech on the state of the European Union, delivered on September 11 by Commission President José Manuel Barroso, has not attracted much attention from European citizens: a curious paradox, when you consider that Europe is increasingly part of their daily lives.

The EU’s future (1/4):
Barroso’s succession battle has already begun
Who will be president of the European Commission after the May 2014 elections? Names are already circulating in the main political camps. But the campaign is long and we must wait until after the German elections to understand the balance of power in the EU.

European Commission:
Who still listens to Brussels?
Over the years, the European Commission’s recommendations to member states on how to push through economic reforms have proliferated. National leaders, though, bow more readily to market pressures and provisions of bailout plans, all of which undermines the authority and credibility of the EU executive.

EU Budget:
Commission is nowhere to be seen
Everyone has forgotten that the European executive prepared the budget which is currently being negotiated by European leaders. And there is a simple reason for this: Commission President José Manuel Barroso has become invisible. Libération’s Brussels correspondent deplores what he describes as a political “suicide”.

Debate:

Crisis is a good moment for an examination of conscience. If war broke out in Europe today, would anyone be willing to die for the ideas of Schuman or Monnet’s community method?

Barroso utters the dreaded word
In proposing a federation of nation states, the President of the European Commission has outlined an ambitious course of development for the EU. For the European press, however, such an initiative inevitably raises questions about the role of Brussels and the role of member states.

Democracy:
Time to elect the EU president
Why do Europeans know more about Obama and Romney than Barroso and Van Rompuy? Because they cannot elect the leaders of the EU, writes Swedish journalist Martin Ǻdahl. The best way to address this European "democratic deficit" would be to put the candidate to the electoral test.

G20 / EU:
Europe has no monopoly on democracy
During the G20 summit in Los Cabos, an indignant Jose Manuel Barroso declared that Europe had not come to Mexico get any tutoring in democracy from emerging states. The European Union, however, not only suffers from a democratic deficit, but lacks legitimacy in the eurocrisis. A look outside the box cannot hurt here, writes a Belgian editor.
