Jean Lambert MEP commented:

“Commission President Barroso’s proposed programme for the next five years contains green aspirations but lacks true green vision. His track record – notably on the 2005 reform of the Lisbon Agenda, where he downplayed the importance of the environment – disqualifies him as a credible contender to deliver the green modernisation that Europe requires.”
