- Europe has to deal with a range of decisive issues. For example we have to handle climate change, increased cross-border crime, and make further enlargement possible. I am proud and honoured for the opportunity to contribute to this important task as Commissioner. Being a liberal, I feel strongly about European integration. The European Union is the most important tool we have to tackle our common challenges.
