"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, in July this group placed its confidence in you on the strength of the promise you made to us of a cooperative relationship, like the one your predecessor Mr Prodi had with us. You were chosen by the Council, and your Commissioners by the national governments. Our job is to examine your Commissioners and give them a vote of confidence. We have done our job carefully and expressed criticisms about five Commissioners. Today you ask us to trust you; my reply to you is that you, rather, should trust Parliament and its judgments. Personal assurances, or promises of a reshuffle after the vote, are not enough. Political selections are made first, not afterwards. We have not changed our minds about the aim of building a strong relationship between the Commission and those who democratically represent the people of Europe. Show that you too have not changed your mind by making new selections today, not tomorrow. Otherwise, on behalf of the Italian delegation in the ALDE Group, I say that we will vote against this Commission."@en1
