"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, many members of the proposed Commission have my heartfelt support. Unfortunately, however, the only option left to me is to vote against it. The task of the Commissioner for Justice and Home Affairs is to oversee the implementation of civil rights under the Charter of Fundamental Rights in the applicant countries as well. To the conservatives, those of you who argue against accession negotiations with Turkey on the basis of human rights concerns, I say this: how can you support a man for this job who declares entire groups of people to be sinful and bad? What sort of signal does this send to Turkey and the other applicant countries? Ladies and gentlemen, the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance was also concerned about the replies given to the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety by Mr Dimas, Commissioner-designate for the Environment. Mr Dimas did say he felt that environmental protection promoted economic development, which delighted us. He did not, however, present any sort of action plan or anything concrete on how environmental protection should be developed, and this worried us. I hope that Mr Dimas’s work will prove our fears to be unfounded."@en1
