SOUNDBITE (English), Antonio TAJANI, EP President, The European Parlament, the spitzenkandidaten process is the key point . We hope a good decision in this direction. For us, it is crucial because we need to reduce the distance between the EU citizens and the European Institutions. To have the spitzenkandidate as President of the Commission is a good message to the citizens, this is our engagement, we have taken it also during the Conference of Presidents today with the President Tusk. We underline the Spitzenkandidaten process, I will repeat this in front of the Council now
