"Mr President, it is rather splendid that we are laying down some new procedures for the hearings of Commissioners here in Parliament. However, this will not solve the real problem faced by Europe, namely that the Commission is far too weak in relation the Member States. I think that the debates that have been held on the subject of Schengen, border control and the situation with regard to the debt crises in many of the European Member States on account of their inability to comply with the Stability Pact, are evidence that we have a Commission that is far too weak. It would therefore have been much more logical if today we had taken up the debate as to whether the President of the Commission should not be appointed by the European Parliament so that he or she would always be held accountable for the European idea instead of being accountable to some strong and some less strong Heads of State or Government in the individual Member States, because what we need in this crisis situation in which we find ourselves right now is not less EU, but more EU."@en1
