Commission holds extraordinary seminar on EU's problems

European commissioners will decamp to a spot 50km outside Brussels on Tuesday to discuss the range of problems facing the bloc. Headed by its president, Jose Manuel Barroso, the Brussels executive is to have a "brainstorming session" on all the difficult issues on its agenda. The day-long meeting is set to deal with four main topics: the EU's social model; the EU constitution; improving the commission's own performance and the bloc's next budget (2007-2013). All 25 commissioners have been asked to prepare a personal contribution to the meeting with what they feel the answer to some of the problems could be, said an EU official.
