Après avoir entendu les interventions répétées du président désigné devant le Parlement, après avoir voté son investiture en mai, après avoir participé aux auditions avec sérieux et sans préjugés envers certains des 19 candidats commissaires, notre groupe estime que la longue crise qui a touché la Commission doit se conclure par une investiture claire et forte.
After listening to the speeches that the President-designate has made to Parliament, after voting for his appointment in May, and after taking part in the hearings with the 19 Commissioners-designate with a professional and open-minded approach, our group believes that the long crisis involving the Commission must end with a clear and strong appointment: you, Mr President, and your proposed Commission, in accordance with the powers that the Treaty confers on you.
