lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I wish to thank Commissioner Kinnock for his answer. It was clear, precise, and rigorous and I already believed that this senior official’s appointment had been inspired solely by criteria of merit and of geographical balance. My question was clearly not intended to question this appointment, which gives me great pleasure, since it involves an extremely talented Portuguese citizen who will be occupying a key role in the Commission’s structure. It is also clear, however, from the words that the Commissioner has just spoken, that no government, no prime minister, can claim any praise for this appointment or can claim it to be a matter for national self-congratulation, as if this were a heroic achievement. I know perfectly well that governments and prime ministers, sometimes getting carried away on flights of rhetoric, like to pin European medals on their own chests. This harms no one and I felt the form, content and subtleties of the Commissioner’s answer to be extremely enlightening."@en1
