Indeed, the proper functioning of EU institutions requires that no important constituency (left or right, East or West, and so forth) feels left out. And the new European Commission looks rather strong, given that more than 20 of its 28 members previously served as prime ministers, deputy prime ministers, or ministers.
事实上，欧盟机构的正常运行需要让所有重要选区（左翼和右翼、东欧和西欧，等等）都不会感到自己被排挤。而新的欧盟委员会看起来相当强大，在其28个委员中，有超过20人曾经是总理、副总理或部长级的人物。这些在曾在国内位居要职的人认为，担任布鲁塞尔的职位是值得的。
