Die englischsprachige Zeitschrift POLITICO berichtet über die Auseinandersetzungen im Europäischen Parlament über die Frage der Ernennung  der Führung des Europäischen Investitionsfonds EFSI, auch als Juncker-Plan bekannt. Zur Frage, welcher Kandidat für den Vorsitz des Fonds geeignet sei, wird auch Fabio De Masi zitiert:

However, he said Carano was both “knowledgeable and determined that it should not be business as usual” and he clearly won over the MEPs who heard him speak. [...] "
