This is the spirit in which we are approaching this debate, which must result in the appointment of the new Commission: a Commission which, under the leadership of Mr Barroso and with experienced commissioners, is well-equipped to tackle Europeans' problems; a Commission with which we share both the main political objectives and the prognoses concerning the problems to be addressed or the solutions to be applied to those problems; a Commission that reflects the results of the 2009 European elections, and within which my political family, the Group of the European People's Party (Christian Democrats), is the most influential force; a Commission, lastly, whose main priority is to meet the expectations of Europeans hit by the crisis, Europeans who also often suffer from pessimism and who are concerned about the ability of their leaders to defend and promote the European model in the world.
See on vaim, milles läheneme arutelule, mille tulemuseks peab olema uue komisjoni ametisse nimetamine: komisjon, mis José Manuel Barroso ja kogenud volinike juhtimisel on kohaselt varustatud eurooplaste probleemide käsile võtmiseks; komisjon, millega jagame nii peamisi poliitilisi eesmärke kui lahendamisele kuuluvate probleemide prognoose või nende probleemide osas rakendatud lahendusi; komisjon, mis kajastab 2009. aasta Euroopa valimiste tulemusi ja milles minu poliitiline pere, Euroopa Rahvapartei (kristlike demokraatide) fraktsioon, on mõjukaim.
