Barroso now needs to deliver - 2009-09-16

Glenis Willmott MEP, Labour's Leader in the European Parliament said: "Mr Barroso got the support of just over half of the MEPs. Therefore, if he truly wants a coalition or broad support he needs to work with us to resolve some of the issues we have raised."

"He has promised an end to social dumping and a review of the Posted Workers Directive to ensure equal rights and pay for the same work. We want action to create employment, new and better jobs, and to fight mass unemployment - especially youth unemployment. Mr Barroso will need to deliver on these important issues" continued Glenis Willmott MEP.
