The acceptance by the Convention that the number of Commissioners will continue at 25 and will come into being once 25 countries enter the newly enlarged Union is important. Senator Maurice Hayes referred to the notion from Orwell that all animals are equal but some are more equal than others. The same principle need not apply when it comes to the Commission because, while 15 Commissioners will be at the centre as a type of management core, there will be 25 Commissioners. Every country will have the right to be represented on the inside and outside tracks of the Commission at different times. It is amazing to have achieved that level of agreement and it should not be underestimated.
