Convention on the Future of Europe: Statements.
As Senator Hayes said, equality is more important than numbers. People are being seduced by the old argument that there should be one Commission member per member state. I would love to see that and would be anxious to achieve it, but only if there is equality. There is no point if one Commissioner is in charge of paper-clips and another in charge of a major portfolio.
