document.write('Legislators voted 488 to 137 in favour of the 26-person team put forward by Commission President Barroso, a move that was widely expected after the Portuguese replaced one of his original nominees last month following MEPs&#39; opposition. Seventy-two lawmakers abstained. The Commission, responsible for proposing and enforcing laws across the 27 member states of the European Union, formally begins its five-year mandate at midnight today, a spokesman said. The European Parliament overwhelmingly approved the new European Commission led by President José Manuel Barroso today (9 February), clearing the way for the EU executive to take office nearly four months behind schedule.

document.write('The Environmental Audit Committee issued a report arguing that the current EU carbon price of around &euro;15 per tonne are too low to drive investment in green technologies and energy efficiency. According to studies, the price would have to be at least &euro;100 per tonne in order to trigger enough investment for shifting to a low-carbon society. Stricter caps on greenhouse gas emissions and a price &#39;floor&#39; are needed to deliver green investment, an influential parliamentary committee in the UK said yesterday (8 February), calling on the government to intervene.

document.write('Kapoor, who has testified on financial regulation at the European Parliament, says world leaders have so far shown a lack of vision in reshaping the post-crisis financial system, arguing that it will be up to the EU&#39;s competition authorities to clean up. Outside Brussels, national leaders are missing the bigger picture, says Kapoor, though some have come up with &quot;politically palatable&quot; proposals. Instead of addressing fundamental issues like the role of finance, politicians seem stuck in assuaging public anger, argues Sony Kapoor, manager of the international think-tank Re-Define, in an interview with EurActiv.

Poland and Ukraine still have minor problems to solve but are otherwise making good progress as they prepare to host Euro 2012, UEFA President Michel Platini said last weekend.
