When we proposed a rotation on an equal footing, it was precisely to show that the idea was not to pit the smaller and larger countries against one other but that, in a Commission with a ceiling on commissioners, those countries which we incorrectly refer to as 'large' and those that we equally incorrectly call 'small' would be represented on a perfectly equal footing.
Ehdotamme rotaatiojärjestelmää juuri osoittaaksemme, ettei ole kyse pienten ja suurten maiden asettamisesta vastakkain, vaan siitä, että supistetussa komissiossa ne, joita kutsutaan asiattomasti "suuriksi" ja ne, joita kutsutaan yhtä lailla asiattomasti "pieniksi", ovat aivan tasa-arvoisesti edustettuina.
