The Díez González report gives me an opportunity to point out that the last paragraph of my explanation of vote of 20 March 2002 on the outcome of the Barcelona European Council was deleted by Parliament’s services. This paragraph read as follows:
‘Point 55 of the conclusions of the Barcelona Council states that the ratification of the Treaty of Nice is due to be completed in all the Member States by the end of 2002, but it does not debate whether the people of Ireland are likely to say ‘yes’. Indeed, the new Irish president of the European Parliament, Patrick Cox, has recently stated that he personally intended to conduct a ‘yes’ campaign, thus placing the code of ethics relating to his position under significant strain. In this area, however, we have left this code of ethics far behind.’
I do not believe that I could have put it any more accurately, since the President of Parliament has just repeated the same offence in his press release of 22 April regarding the presidential elections in France. The political interventionism of the European institutions is rapidly taking hold. First it happens in one country and then in another. In my view, the next French Government should be concerned by this."@en1
