neutral  mchd: cela ne reprend pas exactement le texte source
2 mins
  -> Au contraire, il reprend le texte dans son intégralité, mchd!
disagree  Daryo: you forgot the "hauts" parts - a Council of Ministers has to time to deal with ALL appointments
14 hrs
  -> I admit "haut" is very important, but your "disagree" surprises me.
agree  Karen Vincent-Jones (X): To deal with Daryo's objection, you could include 'senior'.
