"Mr President, Mr President-designate of the Commission, ladies and gentlemen, what is today about? Quite simply, it is about the question of whether we in Europe are getting a Commission that can successfully handle the challenges of the years ahead. Are we getting a Commission that is capable of meeting people’s expectations? Are we getting a Commission that can give Europe strong leadership and will be a respected actor and partner on the global stage? On behalf of the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats, which is after all, numerically, the strongest in the European Parliament, let me say that we are indeed getting such a Commission, one that is capable of performing these tasks, one that enjoys our confidence and has earned that of the European public, whom we, in this House, represent. To that confidence and trust in the Commission we will be giving voice tomorrow. I want to make it equally clear, though, that we also hope that the more mature cooperation between the new Commission and this House which has come about over the past three weeks will not prove to be ephemeral, but that this close cooperation will continue to be sought. As I see it, we have our mandate as the European Parliament and you have your mandate as the Commission currently in office, and we are to exercise them in the interests of the public. That is what we are prepared to do, and I would urge you to do likewise with all parties, not only with Mr Schulz and his team – which is not as homogeneous as it always likes to appear in this House – but with all the groups in this House and in particular with those who really have taken over the leadership of Europe."@en1
