"If those Members of the European Parliament who are members of the
did not take part in the vote on the motion of censure, it was not because of political sympathy with the Commission but because the motion was ill presented and ill conceived.
We would have been quite prepared to censure Mr Barroso for his political actions and, in particular, for the obstinacy that allows the Commission to disregard the very clear vote expressed recently both by the French people and the Dutch people. When, however, one calls into question a person’s worthiness, one has to be sure of where one stands and one has to be prepared to see matters through.
Mr Bonde’s tacit withdrawal of his motion of censure, just before it was voted on, shows that he was in no such position. Consequently, we feared that hastiness might undermine the motion of censure, which has to be reserved only for the very serious circumstances for which my group has decided to use it in future."@en1
