If you were the European Commission’s President, which three political priorities would you

present to European Parliament for the next five years and why?

Having suffered some of the worst political, economic, and financial crises over the

past years since World War II, the European Union Parliament needs to take unprecedented

measures to stabilize the member economies. The integration of the member countries needs

to be fastened with aims of preserving the integrity of the Eurozone. The crises continue to

take its toll even changed leadership at the helm of the regional assembly (Peterson352).

More than six million people across the block lost their jobs, and youth unemployment is

nearing record highs. Several member states are yet to achieve adequate levels of investment

as well as sustainable growth. Previous leaderships fronted measures comparable to repairing

a burning plane while flying. In as much they proved success, very grave mistakes happened.

Democratic legitimacy suffered with the lack of social fairness. As the commission’s

president, I will prioritize rebuilding bridges, strengthen democratic legitimacy, and focus the

commission’s policies on the challenges affecting the integration of member economies.

Top of my priorities as the Commission President would be building bridges to strengthen the

competitiveness of Europe through the stimulation of investments. Such a move would

purposefully create jobs for the youth across the block. Within the first six months of my

mandate in the context of the 2020 Europe review, I would present to the parliament an

ambitious growth, investment, and jobs package for debate and approval (Peterson356). I

would present motions that seek to improve the investment environment and strengthen the

absorption of funds within the commission’s perimeters. My attention would always be in the

identification and promotion of sustainable job-creating projects to potentially restore the

competitiveness of the European Union. This way, the member economies would be able to

bury the strain between them.

Albeit the achievements of making the European Union democratic, there are more

steps to be taken to make it even more democratic (Greene et al.90) The European Union

citizens need to be closer to it more than ever before. I will ask the parliament to ratify laws

that fill special partnerships with all the stakeholders. I would always refer to the Framework

Agreement of 2010 that requires the president of the commission to always dialogue with the

parliament than have technocratic relationship with them. I would always send political

representatives of the Commission to critical trilogue negotiations, and I expect the Council

to do the same. I commit always to enhance transparency in and out of the commission when

having direct contact with lobbyists and stakeholders. In fact, my starting point as the

president of the commission would be the realization of Democratic Change.

More importantly, I will prioritize the shaping of Europe’s policy agenda. My role as

the President of the Commission is to defend the general interest, and because policies guide

such joint interests, effective policy formulations will always supersede every responsibility

(Greene et al.83) Policies are essential for the commission because they serve joint interests

without political prioritization. It is the way I expect to commit to work in line with the

Community method.
