FORMER EU PRESIDENT HIRED AS NEW CHAIRMAN OF GOLDMAN SACHS INTERNATIONAL
The American investment bank, which was accused of “serious misconduct” and agreed last month to pay out $5.06bn for its role in the 2008 financial crisis, is to hire José Manuel Barroso, the former Portuguese prime minister and most powerful man in the EU. Barroso, who was president of the European Commission for 10 years until 2014 and presided over the Eurozone crisis, will help the Wall Street giant manage the so-called “fall out” from Brexit as well as other international uncertainties. His pay has not been disclosed.

The bank has a long history of hiring EU bureaucrats. Mr. Barroso takes the job from Peter Sutherland, a former European Commissioner and ex-boss of the World Trade Organisation, who left last year.

OP, he wasn't 'EU president', to make it clear. He was EU Commission’s president. But don't worry, these EU structures and functions are hard to understand :)

Some MEPs call for sanctions over former Commission chief’s failure to ‘behave with integrity and discretion.’

Barroso, who was prime minister of Portugal from 2002 to 2004 and the Commission’s president between 2004 and 2014, was appointed last Friday as chairman and a senior adviser at the international arm of the U.S. investment banking powerhouse.

Barroso is not a banker by profession but as a former president of the Commission he has deep knowledge of and ready access to EU officials, diplomats, and national leaders, which he can tap into to help Goldman Sachs.
