Georgieva gives solid performance

Most succinct answer
“Yes, Sir.”
Georgieva's response to a question by Nirj Deva, a British Conservative, as to whether she was prepared to fight against the vested interests of other commissioners.

Most desperate plea for clarity
“You are also responsible for international co-operation, but what does that entail?”
Judith Sargentini, a Dutch green, having difficulty understanding Georgieva's job title.

Least convincing answer
“I actually think Twitter is great for something like this.”
Georgieva replies to Bill Newton Dunn, a British Liberal, who wanted to know whether she would consider writing a blog or using Twitter to increase the visibility of her work.

Revelation of the day
“One can tell that you're coming from the World Bank.”
Mario Borghezio, an Italian MEP from the Lega Nord, unhappy with Georgieva's “technocratic” answers.

Most disarming answer
“I spent a good two hours on Sunday with the team that works in finance and accounting [in the directorate-general for humanitarian aid] just to be briefed on this question, so thank you for asking it.”
Emma McClarkin, a British Conservative, wanting to know what Georgieva would do to increase financial accountability and transparency.
