"Madam President, this is no way to treat a Commissioner who distinguished himself by opening the Iron Curtain. I have to tell the House that I find that absolutely outrageous. The Commission that we are meant to approve tomorrow still has black marks against it. You, Mr Barroso, are under pressure from governments, but do not underestimate Parliament’s vigilance. My group and I will be in the forefront when it comes to getting rid of failures in your entourage. We will take you at your word; you undertook to get rid of members of your Commission who turned out not to be up to the job for some reason or another, and that is a promise you must keep if you are not to fail in the same way as Mr Santer did. Anyone reading reports of what has gone on over recent weeks will know that this freely-elected Parliament has notched up some points; our commitment to Europe and its citizens has become more visible than ever before. The peoples of what are now 25 Member States will in future be able to take a benevolent view of us, and, let us hope, of the Barroso Commission as well."@en1
