"Madam President, in July this House endorsed Mr Barroso’s candidature as President of the Commission. Three months have passed since that time, and neither Mr Barroso nor this House have changed in any way. Mr Barroso does not select the Commissioners-designate. That is the job of the Member States’ governments. Yet although the governments sometimes put forward controversial candidates, it is unfortunately not the governments, but Mr Barroso himself who has to swallow the bitter pill today. I should like to make it clear, however, that we do not object to the vast majority of the members of Mr Barroso’s team. I believe Mr Barroso will honour the promise he made today before this House, namely that he will change the make-up of his Commission during his term of office, if the situation so requires. To use a metaphor, Mr Barroso’s blank cheque of confidence should be renewed, but we must also pay close attention to what he does with this cheque. Mr Barroso, I wish you luck."@en1
