lpv:translated text	"Question No 28 by Carlos Lage (): During a parliamentary debate held on 26 March this year, in connection with a motion of censure, the Portuguese Prime Minister interpreted the appointment of a Portuguese as a director-general in the Commission as a diplomatic coup for his government and criticised the previous Socialist government’s alleged inability in this sphere. Subsequently, the Commission’s representation in Portugal publicly explained that senior appointments in the Commission are based on merit and competence, the principle of equal opportunities and geographical balance. The choice of a Portuguese for this position was doubtless due to a favourable judgment of his merits. However, the statements made by the Prime Minister may give rise to doubts. In view of this, can the Commission say whether the appointment of a Portuguese as Director-General for Press and Communication was based solely on an assessment of his abilities with reference to the relevant criteria or on diplomatic pressure on the part of the Portuguese Government?"@en1
