I will examine some of the institutional changes which are suggested. There is, as yet, no agreement that we will lose our Commissioner. It is vital to Ireland's interests that there is a strong Commission which is capable of functioning. It has traditionally, and properly, been the guardian of the interests of all members and therefore disproportionally of small member states. It is not in our interest to have an unwieldy commission, incapable of making decisions and virtually the poodle of the Council of Ministers. I do not favour strengthening the inter-governmental side or strengthening the Council of Ministers at the cost of a weaker Commission.
