"Madam President, one of the basic conclusions which can be drawn from the recent hearings of the Commissioners-designate is that the role of our Parliament has been confirmed because, in previous similar proceedings, the Commissioners-designate were not subjected either to such substantial or to such extended and penetrating hearings. However, what is of decisive importance is the Commission's clear and honest intention to cooperate with the European Parliament. In this way, the two institutions will acquire a stronger role and a stronger place in the mind of the citizens.
Let us not beat about the bush. The basic criticism was with Mr Buttiglione. Of course, Mr Buttiglione used certain expressions which were unfortunate, but his letter of explanation and the President's personal guarantees have convinced me that Mr Buttiglione will not mix his religious or philosophical views with the exercise of policy. I personally believe that the new Commission will consist of people who are able to meet the challenges of the next five years, which is why we MEPs of the Greek New Democracy Party will vote in favour of it. Of course, our vote for the Commission will not give it
; on the contrary, we shall monitor their work closely, in order to safeguard a successful response to the challenges it has to face."@en1
