Undoubtedly, one of the most honorable post someone can held in Europa.S. is that of the Commissioner. As the one responsible for informing and guiding the mebs, it is a position of high responsibility and enjoys great respect, so having to interview one is a truly special experience.
-Hello sir, at first, could you please tell me your name and what Commissioner are you exactly?
-Hi, my mane is Alexandros Pantelakos and I am the Commissioner for Trade in this year’s Europa.S.
-Pantelakos, may I ask you if the MEPs of the INTA Committee needed any help, and if so, what kind of help was it exactly?
-As a hole, the MEPs were pretty much informed about what they had to do. Even so, I had to give them some general guidelines concerning the topic, and suggest them to discuss several aspects of it that they hadn’t really thought about until then. I also had to propose them to revise some of their action plans.
-But what is your opinion on their behavior when the crisis occurred and the sessions after it? Where they calm, or had they lost control because of the crisis?
-Well, the truth is that I was not there when we were first informed about the crisis, but when I arrived at the session, a little later , I was proud to see them pretty calm, and quite willing to deal with the new problems that were caused by the crisis.
-Many thanks Mr. Pantelakos, it was a very illuminating interview.
-It was a pleasure.
