“I hope that together with all EU member states, together with the European Parliament, which – under the Lisbon Treaty – gets a highly important role also as the Common Agricultural Policy is concerned, we will be able to contribute to an evolution, an adjustment of CAP, for this community policy to further stay one of the founding pillars of the European construction,’ said Ciolos.
He also expressed hope that he will able to prove that he is able to assume this important portfolio and thanked all those who sustained his candidacy. “I think this is further proof that a candidate from Romania can also receive confidence for taking over an important European portfolio. Personally, I want to tell you that I feel as an outcome of the chance Romania has had to join the European Union (EU).
My professional career has practically unfolded in the past 20 years since Romania has been preparing to move closer to the EU and I am glad that I am given the chance to bring my professional, intellectual contribution to this European construction Romania has joined,” Ciolos completed. Jose Manuel Barroso announced on Friday the distribution of the portfolios in the new European executive body, with Dacian Ciolos nominated for the portfolio of agriculture and rural development.
