Thank you very much, Madame Clément.
We will begin our questioning. As you know, the first round of questions is seven minutes, and it includes questions and answers.
Committee members, as you know, you are here to assess whether you agree or believe that Madame Clément is fit, because of her academic background, her experience, etc., to fulfill this very important role. You may ask her questions with regard to that, to policies, or to things that have to do with the mandate she is going to be asked to fulfill.
It is out of order to ask her questions with regard to her personal...belonging to any political party, to what her personal donations to parties are. You are to stick only to the qualifications and competence, and to the duties and her ability to fulfill those duties.
So begin, Ms. Simson.
