Georgieva named European of the Year (European Voice, 30/11/2010)

Georgieva named European of the Year
European Voice / 30.11.2010 / 22:30 CET



European commissioner for international co-operation, humanitarian aid and crisis response wins European Voice award.

Kristalina Georgieva was tonight named European of the Year at European Voice's annual awards ceremony. The 57-year-old former World Bank official was also voted European commissioner of the year.

The readers of European Voice voted Jean-Claude Trichet, president of the European Central Bank (ECB), as their EU Official of the Year. He had been nominated for preserving the ECB's reputation for independence in the face of political pressure during the eurozone's sovereign-debt crisis.

The joint winners of the category of National Politician of the Year were David Cameron and Nick Clegg, the prime minister and deputy prime minister of the United Kingdom. Their decision in May to form a coalition government had won them inclusion in a shortlist drawn up by a panel of experts for breaking with the UK's entrenched habits and adopting a more European style of government.

Jeanine Hennis-Plaaschaert was voted MEP of the Year. Even though she left the European Parliament half-way through the year to join the Dutch national parliament, the impact that she had made in February was sufficient to win the award. She had led the Parliament to reject a deal struck by the European Commission and the EU's national governments with the US government enabling the transfer of information about bank transfers made by European citizens. The agreement, which was designed to counter terrorism, was eventually revised with enhanced data-protection rules.

The winner of the category of Inspiration of the Year was Spain's national football team, which won the World Cup in July and asserted European supremacy in the world's most popular sport.

Georgieva, a former vice-president of the World Bank, was nominated for the post of European commissioner only when the Parliament threatened in January to withhold approval for the new college of commissioners because they were unhappy with Bulgaria's first choice as commissioner, Rumiana Jeleva. Georgieva was drafted in from the World Bank as a replacement, taking over the portfolio of international co-operation, humanitarian aid and crisis response. She led the European Union's response to humanitarian disasters in Haiti and Pakistan.

Tim King, the editor of European Voice, said: “Georgieva became a European commissioner almost by accident, but since February she has clearly impressed many people.

“2010 has been a difficult year for the European Union, but the awards nevertheless celebrate some significant achievements. The voting for Georgieva underlines that the EU is still a force for good in the world and a global player when it comes to humanitarian aid.

“The confidence expressed in Trichet is significant in view of the tensions that have persisted for the last eight months between the European Central Bank and some eurozone governments.

“The vote for Hennis-Plasschaert emphasises how important are the powers given by the Lisbon treaty to the European Parliament.

“David Cameron might not welcome our voters drawing attention to how the coalition agreement wrong-footed the most Europhobic of his party colleagues, but Nick Clegg could probably do with some kind of affirmation that he made the right decision.

“Most of our readers (though not the Dutch) clearly enjoyed the Spanish football team's triumph, which established Europe ahead of Latin America. However, I suspect that what matters now in Madrid is whether Spain and Portugal win the nomination for hosting the 2018 World Cup.”

The EVawards were presented during a gala dinner at the stock exchange of Brussels, attended by more than 120 leading legislators, policymakers and members of the EU community.
