lpv:translated text	"Mr President, today I would have liked to have approved the Commission without any reservations. Unfortunately, however, I have to register a reservation by abstaining since, although there are good Commissioners – Mrs Schreyer and Mrs Wallström have convinced me – I must say that I found the interventions of Mr Prodi more than disappointing. I do not consider it enough that he only presented declarations of intent, when really what he should have been talking about was the direction in which the reforms in the European Union are heading. For me, there were too many fine words, too little of substance and, therefore, through my abstention, I wanted to express my feeling that this is not enough and that over the next few years, the Commission must succeed in carrying out its promises as far as possible and not stand still on its words. Hopefully, Mr Prodi will then succeed in becoming a stronger figure within this European Union. Let me make it clear that I have not voted with a “no”, I would have preferred to give my approval with an unequivocal “yes”, yet I found Mr Prodi’s statement too disappointing."@en1
