A number of Commissioners are suspected of having mislead Parliament, and there is the risk of the past catching up with a number of them. A number of Commissioners were hardly filled with ambition, ability and the desire to continue working in the Commission, and the fact that this applies to candidates who are to be concerned with relations between the Commission and Parliament and with preparations for the Intergovernmental Conference is something I find very regrettable indeed.
Certains d’entre eux ne sont pas apparus précisément empreints d’ambition, de compétence et de volonté de changement et je déplore tout particulièrement que ce soit précisément le cas pour les candidats en charge des relations de la Commission avec ce Parlement et de la préparation de la Conférence intergouvernementale.
