José Manuel Barroso

I have a passion for Europe.

For me, the European project goes much further than its economic dimension. It is based on the values of peace, freedom, justice and solidarity, and it must mean advancing people's Europe.

The people's Europe I want is also about the accountability and openness of the EU institutions. This Website is a way to intensify the dialogue between the Commission and the citizens in the different Member States and regions.

I want a Europe that puts people at the heart of the agenda. Because for me, Europe's raison d'être is to empower Europeans.
