'To fight the Taliban,' said Barroso, 'we need soldiers, yes, but we also need doctors, teachers, judges, lawyers, police. That is why we, the European Commission are focussing in these areas. We wish to see Afghan leadership and responsibility. Without that, we will not be able, together, to address the remaining challenges and create a stable, peaceful and prosperous Afghanistan.' (H.B.)
