Super commissioner?

Mr Barroso denied that "co-ordinating role" was creating a super Commissioner by the back door although Mr Verheugen will oversee the work of several colleagues and be a permanent representative of the Brussels executive to competition ministers' councils. Mr Verheugen is not alone as vice-president; he is joined by Italy's Rocco Buttiglione (justice and home affairs), France's Mr Barrot, Estonia's Siim Kallas (administrative affairs) and Sweden's Margot Wallström.

Entirely new portfolios
Mrs Wallström, who is one of the three commissioners left over from the original Romano Prodi, also got a newly created portfolio - she is commissioner for institutional relations and communication. "I attach particular importance to communication Europe. What Europe does and why it does it must be communicated to people more clearly", said Mr Barroso.
Other changes include the transport and energy unit being split into two; agriculture and fisheries being split into two and a new taxation portfolio.
