"In the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, we have heard four candidate Commissioners, two men and two women. Although we have great respect for your attempt to get more women in the Commission, unfortunately, we do have some issues around the two ladies in this Commission and are still waiting for responses and reactions to those issues on a number of scores. With regard to Mrs Kroes, we in the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs asked you to publish the legal advice on the basis of which she has drawn up the code of conduct by means of which she intends to avoid conflicts of interest. She herself, during the hearings, agreed to it being published. Can you tell us why that has not yet been done?
A second question concerned clarification from you as to how you view the issues that she explains away in connection with her past dealings. Are you handling these matters yourself? Will you be setting up a working party for that purpose? How can you guarantee to us that no other conflicts of interest are involved and that those issues will be properly dealt with?
I would now like to turn to the other candidate, Mrs Udre. During the hearing, she indicated repeatedly that she cannot be blamed for the suspicion levelled at her party in connection with receiving anonymous donations. This is very difficult for us to judge. We have asked you to launch an inquiry, or have one launched, into the facts and to provide us with information about this and also with your assessment. That question, too, is still on the table, and we would like to see it resolved."@en1
