The President of the European Commission Romano Prodi congratulated his successor, President José Manuel Durão Barroso following the vote at the European parliament on Thursday.

"My legacy is a Commission that has delivered on its promises. I am confident that President Barroso will continue to unify Europe with the force of an institution that is today able to serve the common interest in the European Union better than ever before.
