"Mr President, I wish to raise a point of order in accordance with Rule 166 of the Rules of Procedure, with regard to Rule 24(3), which regulates the competences of the Conference of Presidents.
Yesterday, a Minister from the Italian Government offended this House by saying that it was dominated by gays. I am from a country that is currently considering legislation to put an end to discrimination against homosexuals – as in Belgium and the Netherlands. This issue is currently subject to subsidiarity, but I would like the Conference of Presidents and the President to ask the Italian Government to apologise, because what is at stake here, ladies and gentlemen, is first and foremost whether the person heading the Commission is Mr Barroso or Mr Berlusconi.
Secondly, I would like to say to our Italian colleagues that we are prepared to accept an Italian Commissioner with the personal and intellectual rigour of Leonardo da Vinci or Michelangelo."@en1
