lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, European Commission Vice-President Günter Verheugen has surprised the whole European Union by presenting his own vision of the management reform being implemented in the EU. In his opinion, small member countries should not delegate their Commission members, as they would only be responsible for insignificant fields of Community activity. They could send their representatives to work at the bureaus of important Commission Member States, and that would be the extent of the small countries’ role in the European Commission. The large countries would manage the important areas and would make proper decisions. Which fields are insignificant? Perhaps Commission members from large countries could participate in them and make them significant? Why does Germany not set an example and take the lead, for example, in the field of multilingualism? Is it only possible for Commission members from large countries to be competent? One of the most important fundamental EU principles is the principle of non-discrimination. What is being proposed here is size-based discrimination against EU members. Are such Commission members capable of suggesting something positive for the EU reform? Their lack of consensus appears to demonstrate the unsuitability of many of them to work in an international EU collective."@en1
