The first Commission of which I had the honour of being President presented a specific regulation aimed at giving greater audit powers to Eurostat, and that was rejected by certain Member States, which did not want the Commission to be able to play that role.
Prima Comisie al cărei preşedinte am avut onoarea să fiu a prezentat un regulament specific care avea drept scop înzestrarea cu competenţe suplimentare a Eurostatului, dar acesta a fost respins de unele dintre statele membre care nu au dorit să confere un astfel de rol Comisiei.
