lpv:translated text	"Mr President, there was at least one good thing about removing the candidate Commissioner, Mr Buttiglione, from the new European Commission. It made it very easy for me today to vote against it. It is a downright shame – and we have to take note of this once again today – that a capable person is being sacrificed on the altar of political correctness, for the simple reason that he also has a personal conviction that does not appear to correspond to that of the majority in this Parliament. That in the light of the fact that the self-same Commission that we approved today includes the likes of Louis Michel, the personal friend, fellow worker and the help and stay of dictators with blood on their hands, such as Laurent Kabila in the past, or Fidel Castro these days. It is a disgrace, but at least we know where we stand. This Commission is politically correct; this Commission is intent on forcing even more sameness down our throats with the European Constitution. This Commission wants to saddle us with a non-European country like Turkey. We will not renounce our true European ideals. We will fight this Commission tooth and nail in the coming years."@en1
