lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Madam President-in-Office of the Council, ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I should like to offer my thanks and congratulations to the Swedish Presidency for the truly remarkable work it is doing. However, I should like to take advantage of this speech to address President Barroso through a third party: Mrs Malmström will therefore certainly pass on to him the comments that I have to make, following, moreover, his speech in response to Mr Verhofstadt. We all want an effective and credible Commission, one that makes full use of its power of initiative and that is not scared to practise the Community method. However, if we want that Commission – and I understood that Mr Barroso wanted it too – then I believe that it must structure its action around competences organised within four or five pillars, each pillar being placed under the political responsibility of a vice-president invested with the authority and the ability – and with the power too – to ensure the consistency of the entire policy within his or her pillar. The current division of the Commission’s competences – and I am well placed to speak about this, since I was, after all, a commissioner for five years – undermines the Community method, handicaps the power of initiative and harms your institution. Please tell Mr Barroso this, on my behalf. That it was difficult immediately to reorganise the structure of competences inherited from what were, at times, odd, if not opportunistic, arrangements of the past is understandable, but I would not understand it if the current president failed to establish the order that a new ambition for this institution deserves."@en1
