lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the Duff report reminds me of William Shakespeare’s immortal words ‘much ado about nothing’. Independence, competence, European commitment, these are all fine qualities, but in practice, I notice that this House has no problem with accepting people such as Louis Michel, who, in his former capacity as the Belgian Foreign Affairs Minister, ran counter to the very notion of European cooperation by demonising Austria; Mr Michel, in respect of whom it is generally known that he regards the European code of conduct for weapons export as no more than a scrap of paper; Mr Michel who, in March, during a flying visit to Cuba, said that things were not that bad over there and that the human rights organisations should stop defying Mr Castro. How fortunate that ethics and respect for human rights are not express criteria for the appointment to the post of Commissioner."@en1
