The European Union faced institutional paralysis, 27 October 2004, as a power struggle between its executive and parliament came to a head. José Manuel Barroso, the incoming European Commission President, was forced to withdraw his proposed team for the EU's executive rather than face a humiliating rejection by members of the European Parliament.
