"Mr President, do not misunderstand me, I am not against people going on holiday; it is just that, normally, we have to pay for it ourselves. My simple request to all 25 Commissioners was for them to declare what free holidays they had received since they became Commissioners. They point blank refused to answer the question, treating this Parliament with contempt. When it leaked out that Mandelson and Barroso had enjoyed holidays on billionaires’ yachts, we were told not to worry: there was no conflict whatsoever. Then it emerges that one of the Latsis-owned shipyards – the Lamda Shipyard – received a EUR 10 million grant, and then Mr Barroso resigns the shipping portfolio. That resignation is too little, too late. It is about time Parliament called the Commission to account, and I urge Members to vote to change the agenda to bring Mr Barroso here this very week."@en1
