Jean-Claude Juncker to take the EU on the ’attack’
By Bruno Waterfield | The Telegraph
Jean-Claude Juncker will run a "highly politicised" European Commission that will override British opposition to social legislation and demand the power to set minimum wage levels across Europe
Jean-Claude Juncker, the newly-appointed head of the European Commission, has pledged in his inaugural speech to lead a strong interventionist EU.
Speaking as MEPs prepared to crown him as president of the European Commission, the former leader of Luxembourg pledged to make the powerful Brussels executive more interventionist on social and industrial policy.
"The commission will be a political body. I want it to be an even more political body. It will be a highly politicised body," he said.
The Prime Minister, who opposed Mr Juncker as commission president before being defeated in an unprecedented vote at a summit of European Union leaders three weeks, will be alarmed at his plans to set minimum pay levels in Brussels in return to the social activism of Jacques Delors.
"All countries in the European Union, we set in place a minimum social wage, a minimum income, a guaranteed minimum income," said Mr Juncker.
Mr Juncker also attacked "the whims of the age" in a dig on the EU’s emphasis on privatisation and restrictions on state subsidies, policies that European Socialist often decry as the "Anglo-Saxon agenda".
Paying tribute to Mr Delors, the Socialist commission president who repeatedly clashed with Margaret Thatcher and other Conservative prime ministers in the Eighties, as "my friend and master", Mr Juncker has set himself on a collision course with Britain’s opposition to any EU interference in social affairs.
"I want a Europe that wins, attacks," Mr Juncker told MEPs to applause.
The new commission president also told the European Parliament that he would take on national governments led by Britain that are seeking to impose restrictions on EU free movement and welfare benefit claims by poor Eastern Europeans.
"The rules will not be changed. It will be up to national authorities to fight against abuse or fraudulent claims," he said.
In a 12-page programme circulated to MEPs on Tuesday morning, Mr Juncker defended migration as vital part of the EU’s single market and vowed to increase opportunities for people to work in Britain, and other wealthy European countries.
"Free movement of workers has always been one of the key pillars of the internal market, which I will defend," he wrote in the paper.
"I believe we should see free movement as an economic opportunity not a threat. We should therefore promote labour mobility, especially in fields with persistent vacancies and skills mismatches."

Ukip and other Eurosceptic MEPs jeered at Mr Juncker - one of the architects of the EU’s single currency - when he argued the euro had protected Europeans despite his earlier admission that devastating mistakes had been made while imposing austerity on countries such as Greece.
“The single currency does not divide Europe, it protects Europe,” he said.
In response, far-Right French MEPs, members of Italy’s anti-euro Five Star Movement, Ukip and far-Left deputies booed and shouted "rubbish".

It is official: Jean-Claude Juncker gets European Union top job
From: The Star
After much debate and grumbling from the UK, Luxembourg’s Jean-Claude Juncker gets elected to top EU job
Jean-Claude Juncker, the former prime minister of Luxembourg, will officially take over one of the most powerful jobs in Europe – much to UK prime Minister David Cameron’s dismay.
Juncker was elected as president of the European Commission at a meeting in Strasbourg, France on Tuesday. At a summit of European leaders in late June, Cameron was one of the lone voices speaking out against Juncker as the leading candidate, saying his nomination would be a “bad day for the EU,” reported The Telegraph. Cameron has repeatedly said publicly that Brussels has too much power and that the European states need to reclaim some of it back. Seems like Cameron’s never believed Juncker would help him out with that.
The European parliament voted with a majority of 422 in favour for Juncker. He’ll replace José Manuel Barroso, the former prime minister of Portugal.
The New York Times, called the meeting “rancorous” and that the United Kingdom Independence Party’s Nigel Farage voiced his discontent by telling Juncker he better not form a European “superstate” while French National Front Leader Marine Le Pen accused Juncker of making the tiny state of Luxembourg one of the world’s biggest tax havens.
In a statement, Juncker said he wants to work with an EU that is committed to democracy and reform, one that isn’t “meddlesome” but one that delivers for its citizens.
Juncker has inherited an EU still struggling to get out of the financial chaos of the global market meltdown in 2008 and a sovereign debt crisis. Tough money-saving austerity policies have shaken some EU nations to their cores – think Greece, Spain, Portugal and the United Kingdom. Youth unemployment across most of the EU is still high and social unrest has resulted, along with the rise of nationalist, Far-Right parties in states like France and Greece.
Juncker said his number one priority is to get Europe growing and working again and that within the first three months of his mandate – his term actually begins in November – he’ll present a “Jobs, Growth and Investment” package aimed at generating an extra 300 billion euros in investment over the next three years. He also wants a reasonable and balanced free trade agreement with the United States. (I notice he did not mention the EU-Canada free trade deal -- probably because even though it has been trumpeted as done, it still isn’t really complete as key parts are being negotiated.)
Besides Juncker’s lofty financial goals, he is also interested in eliminating roaming fees for Europeans while traveling in Europe.
Juncker, who also previously led the eurozone of nations who share a single currency, admitted the rescue of the euro was “weak on the social side.” “It is unacceptable to me that workers and retired people had to shoulder the burden of structural reform programs, while ship owners and financial speculators became even richer. In the future we need a more democratically legitimate replacement for the Troika (the European Central Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the European Commission) and through social impact assessments for any new support programs.”
