lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Mr Barroso, on 27 October you demonstrated that the stand which you took from the same tribune during your speech on your election in June was both solid and precise. You said at the time that you would pay great attention to the views of the members of the European Parliament, even if they opposed your own. On 27 October, you listened to the voice of Parliament and acted accordingly, with respect both for the role of Parliament and the confidence it placed in you in June. This act on your part means that you believe deeply that politics are the art of composition, which the European Union itself personifies. You yourself stated that the main role of the President of the European Commission was to manage the dynamic assent which Europe needs and you demonstrated that you were already faithfully following that principle. We believe that the new composition which you have presented is more efficient and will respond to the issues of prosperity, solidarity and security. However, I remember your statement that, if any member of the Commission were unable to perform their duties, you would have no hesitation in asking for their resignation. This, in conjunction with the importance which you attach to democratic scrutiny by Parliament, gives us guarantees of sensible management. We 11 Greek MEPs of the Group of the European People's Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats shall support the Commission with our vote, but we shall keep a close eye on your work and we shall voice our criticism to you if we find that you have deviated from your commitments. Mr Barroso, we wish you broad support for your new Commission and every success in your difficult job."@en1
