Idet jeg understregede den interessante bevægelse i forholdet mellem Kommissionen og Parlamentet, samt vores vilje til at arbejde, indtil den omtalte administrative reform er i hus, gav jeg samtidig udtryk for, at man - for at leve op til vores medborgeres store forventninger - burde tage initiativ til en betydelig ændring, der ikke bare berører Kommissionens funktion, men også selve de politiske retningslinjer.
While highlighting the interesting "shift" in the relationship between this institution and Parliament, as well as our desire to work towards the success of the administrative reform announced, I expressed the conviction that in order to respond to the urgent expectations of our fellow citizens it would have been necessary to take the initiative on significant changes affecting not only the operation of the Commission but also on its political orientations.
