About this episode
HARDtalk travels to Oslo for the annual Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony.

José Manuel Barroso has been President of the European Commission since 2004. With the continent’s economic future increasingly uncertain, and as austerity bites, is he confident of a peaceful future for the European Union?
