lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the President of the Commission has referred to the composition of his team as a compromise. It is at any rate an unsatisfactory one. Following a hate campaign from the Left, Mr Buttiglione had to disappear on account of expressing opinions that are reported to be politically incorrect. It appears that the possible conflict of interests of which Mrs Kroes and Mrs Fischer-Boel are suspected is not a problem. Similarly, the Communist, Stalinist past of Mr Kovács does not seem to be an issue. This is simply a case of double standards, and that is all that has to be said on the subject. There is much talk about democracy, but in reality, freedom of opinion is being curbed, and no consideration is given to what the public wants. The issue of Turkey is a classic example of this. The new Commission intends to force through Turkey’s accession at all costs, against the will of the overwhelming majority of Europeans. That is another reason why today’s Commission is a Commission that does not deserve any support or confidence whatsoever."@en1
