"An absolutely exceptional procedure is ending, today – the procedure of establishing a new European institution. I represent the new Member States, and have watched with fascination to see what the essence of integration is like in practice, what the pushing and shoving between various institutions is like and how, finally, something has been born which is intended to consolidate, by a common foreign policy, that which is so much lacking in the European Union. It has proved possible, and Parliament has been part of it. We are very proud that we have been actively involved. The new service is a service of the entire European Union, and not of just one institution.
However, this integration has, in addition, been about integration of the new countries with the old ones. Let us say this frankly – the examination result is partially good. If, today, there are questions and doubts, it is because the Commissioner, the Vice-President of the Commission, has to ensure that all recruitment decisions are transparent and that they show that the best people are being appointed. Then I will not fight for geographical parity, because, for me, a parity of knowledge and qualifications is much more important than geographical parity, but you, Mrs Ashton, have to prove this."@en1
