"Today’s session is the last one in our Parliament where we can discuss the structure, funding and general operating framework of the European External Action Service. From tomorrow, when we are due to make the final decisions, we will expect real results. I am confident, of course, even as the debate went on today, that the European Parliament will be a European institution which will help, encourage and pass on its ideas to the new service so that it will be really effective and successfully create a more active, visible role for the European Union on the international stage. In fact, the European External Action Service is perhaps the most visible result of the Treaty of Lisbon. All of us who supported this treaty would like to see this service, too, as a successful project. Let me tell you, Lady Ashton, that you inherited a heavily imbalanced administration and it has transpired, unfortunately, that the main criticisms were somehow levelled at you. Indeed, at the start of this year, since when you have been High Representative and Vice-President, new Member States had just one head of delegation in the European Union. I want to challenge outright the notion that there is any conflict between qualifications and geographical balance. On the contrary, I believe that geographical balance goes hand in hand with higher qualifications. This is why we hope that your commitment will be implemented from now on."@en1
