But don't worry, these EU structures and functions are hard to understand :) President of the European Commission: [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] President of the European Council aka 'European president': [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] - - - - - 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.
