"Madam President, for me, there are two reasons for voting against this proposed Commission. The political composition is a clear step to the right for the EU. Free-market liberals and right of centre politicians dominate most key areas. It is therefore obvious that, as a socialist, I should vote against it. It is also obvious that quite a few of those appointed are quite unsuitable for their tasks. During questioning in the committee, Mr Dimas, as a nominated Commissioner, showed that he lacked both the necessary knowledge of environmental policy and a vision of its future. There are similar problems in the energy area. The nominated Agricultural Commissioner is a landed property owner, and the candidate for competition issues has very strong links with large-scale industry. The person who is to protect the rights of women, homosexuals and refugees is opposed to equality, is homophobic and wishes to restrict the right of asylum. One wonders if it can get much worse."@en1
