"In spite of the fact that some of the Commissioners-designate have shown that they are well qualified and ecologically aware and would certainly make good Commissioners, for example Margot Wallström and Michaela Schreyer, we cannot support the Prodi Commission, to some degree because of the total lack of ecological and social awareness in Romano Prodi’s manifesto and in other respects because of the presence of Commissioners-designate who have not been completely convincing as to their suitability and readiness to act with complete honesty before Parliament. What is more, there have been elements of Romano Prodi’s conduct which, with good reason, have been interpreted as his striving to establish himself as a sort of head of government, something which has no basis in the current EU treaties and which would mean going further down the road to turning the EU into a state. We are therefore voting against the Prodi Commission for the period of 23 January 2000 to 22 January 2005. On the other hand, we will not oppose there being a sort of “caretaker” Commission for the period up until 22 January 2000. This ought not, of course, to be the present Santer Commission, which must withdraw immediately. We have therefore abstained in the vote concerning the remainder of the present period of office."@en1
