Tajani then wanted Jucker to show "a more respectful attitude," and added:

"The Commission does not control the parliament. It is the parliament that should be controlling the Commission."

"There are only a few members in the parliament to control the Commission. You are ridiculous," Juncker replied.

"The exchange" was "even more amazing" since both Juncker and Tajani belong to the same EPP Christian Democratic group, AP observed in its report.

"If Mr. Muscat would have been Mrs. Merkel - tough to imagine — or Mr. Macron — easier to imagine — we would have had a full house. The parliament is totally ridiculous," Juncker said.
