lpv:translated text	"There are a number of people from my group who have talked on this matter. Personally, and on behalf of the group I represent in Denmark, I have to say that I cannot vote for the Commission. I shall emphasise two points. The first is that the political programme which has been put forward promotes a degree of integration which goes far beyond what there is a mandate for from 80% of the Danish population and, what is more, from the populations of the other Member States. It is politically unacceptable. The EU is to make its presence more keenly felt across national borders, and, to an extent, that is a threat to our nation states. The second point is the background to the Prodi Commission. As we know, this was the scandal that was uncovered in connection with the first report by the Experts’ group this spring. One might have imagined that, as a prior condition of endorsing the new Commission, Parliament might have demanded radical changes to put a stop to the systematic abuses that have taken place and to the consistent lack of proper supervision to be found in the system. However, none of this even enters into the equation. In the course of these hearings, a completely perfunctory explanation from the designated candidates for the Commission has been accepted. It is especially scandalous that someone like former Commission President Delors’ right-hand man, who was responsible for setting up the criticised security services, should have been waved through this Parliament without so much as having to answer a single critical question. For these reasons, it is impossible for us to vote for the Commission-designate."@en1
