"Mr President, Commissioner, with reference to last week’s meeting, I would like to ask if you yourself are happy with the selection process by which two important top posts were filled, or do you also agree that some of the Union’s decision-making procedures could still do with a large dose of extra transparency and democracy?
I would like to ask you if the selection method applied, where the candidates appeared as if out of thin air, was a way to confirm the EU’s authority, and did it boost confidence in EU decision making? Should the big political groups be thinking seriously about what sort of candidates to put forward for top positions in the future, whether the selection process can be revised and improved in some way, and who should do it? Presumably, that will be the task of the European Parliament and its Members. This time, Finland had highly qualified candidates and we should be glad about that."@en1
