Convention on the Future of Europe: Statements.
The Commission rotation is a good compromise. The point of membership of the Commission is to know what is happening and to act as a sounding board so that others know the likely reaction in one's member state. The rotation was primarily determined by the need to build confidence in the accession states but it should have a positive effect on the confidence of public opinion in this country.
