At the end of the hearing the ENVI Chairman Jo Leinen (S&D, DE) remarked that it was evident from the replies that the candidate had over 20 years of political experience and anyone that could get regular applause from Dagmar Roth Behrendt (D-S&D) must be doing well.Mr Dalli’s performance was punctuated with applause on several occasions. He promised to be the guardian of Consumer interests in the Commission, which pleased the IMCO Members, and when faced with the balance between industry and consumers or patients, he said he would always put patients and consumers first – but that it was also in industry’s interest to do so too.
In his opening address he promised to put patients and consumers first and to be independent and objective.
