"Mr President, my delegation voted in favour of this Commission because all along we believed this was a matter of competence of the Commissioners. We were not happy with the original proposal, although we feel that if Mr Barroso had handled matters better we could have avoided the problems that arose. However, we recognise the difficulties he faced with certain governments. We still have reservations about this Commission and we will be looking to call it to account in the future. We will also hold the Commission to account on the promises President Barroso has made to Parliament today, not least in relation to human rights. I have this morning written to President Borrell, drawing his attention to the disgraceful incidents that took place last night and on Tuesday night in football matches between England and Spain, where there was racist abuse of black English players. I would like the Commission to take an initiative, along the lines of President Barroso's commitment, to deal with the problem of racism in football."@en1
