EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement - Conclusion of the EU-Canada CETA - EU-Canada Strategic Partnership Agreement (debate)

  William (The Earl of) Dartmouth (EFDD), blue-card answer. – If I may say so, I would point out that, at the hearings, three political groups voted against the confirmation of the present EU Trade Commissioner, and if only the ECR had joined us she probably wouldn’t have happened. As it is, we have somebody who is completely unqualified, and that is the person who the 27 other Member States are unfortunately stuck with.
