"Mr President, we have all been able to witness the fact that about a week ago, the President of the Commission, Mr Romano Prodi, sounded the starting shot for the Italian election campaign. Mr Prodi has issued a political manifesto, in which he has outlined the strategy and necessities that the Left needs to embrace in order to secure an election victory in Italy. We take the view that the President of the Commission must maintain a certain political neutrality, that he must be above party-political wrangling. It is now clear that he no longer does that. The Eurostat scandal would have been a good opportunity for Mr Prodi to take his political responsibility and to step aside. The publication of this political manifesto is going too far. He should shoulder his responsibility: either remain President of the European Commission and concentrate fully on that task, or else conduct a political campaign in Italy."@en1
