23/11/2010 (Agence Europe) - Cohn-Bendit tackles Van Rompuy. The co-president of the Greens Group at the European Parliament, Daniel Cohn-Bendit, did not spare the president of the European Council, Herman Van Rompuy of Belgium, accusing him of “behaving like a Council secretary general”. “Mr Van Rompuy is a complete vassal to his shareholders, that is, the heads of state or government of the 27 member states. It is time he put the reality and difficulty of his presidency on the table”, Cohn-Bendit told the press on Tuesday 23 November, in Strasbourg. The French deputy is hoping that the president of the European Council, after being in office for one year, will take stock of his work before the Parliament. (E.H./transl.jl)
