European officialdom is now responding to these deficits with an initiative to reform and democratize the European Commission. Current Commission President José Manuel Barroso suggests that ideologically like-minded political parties running in the next European Parliament elections should intensify their cooperation in political “families” that would then jointly nominate candidates for the Commission presidency.
对于这个不足，欧洲官场想出来的应对办法是改革欧盟委员会，让其变得更民主。欧盟委员会现任主席巴罗佐（José Manuel Barroso）建议，在下界欧洲议会选举之时，让意识形态立场相近的政党结成更紧密的政治“派别”，联合提名欧盟委员会主席候选人。这样一来，选民就可以更直接地选举新一届欧盟行政首脑。他们会觉得好像在选举一届政府一样。而政治家们为了胜选，就有动力去提升自己的感召力。
