"I have personally listened to all the speeches by the President, Romano Prodi, and I have participated in all six hearings of the candidate Commissioners.
4 – a Europe which is capable of expansion with grit and determination in order to guarantee peace.
The first conclusion I draw from this is that we are faced with a reliable team of Commissioners who, by and large, are competent in their own areas.
The second conclusion is that the ideology expressed by this team and also many of their proposals are far removed from my own ideas regarding the construction and management of Europe, with an extremely worrying predominance of Liberalism over social aspects and citizen’s rights.
This is why, even though I shall be voting at noon, with no qualms, in favour of the appointment of this Commission, wishing it every fortune and good luck, nonetheless in a few weeks I shall be paying particular attention to the programme which will be announced for the year 2000 and the legislature.
My vote on this occasion, and any subsequent votes, will depend on the extent to which the proposals made to us reflect the propositions on the basis of which I was elected on June 13.
For me, more than ever, the stakes of the next five years come under four items:
1 – a political Europe which is democratic, transparent and efficient;
2 – a social Europe which is solid and fair, and which defends those most at risk;
3 – a citizen’s Europe where every citizen feels completely European in everyday life;"@en1
