lpv:translated text	"I voted against Mr Tonio Borg’s appointment as European Commissioner for several reasons. Mr Borg has expressed and applied policies in his own country that contradict a woman’s right to decide what to do with her body. I refuse to condone such policies. He has demonstrated time and time again his fierce opposition to equal rights, either between women and men or between heterosexuals, homosexuals and transgender people. I condemn this refusal to recognise the equality of every human being before the law. Nor is Mr Borg very clear when it comes to genetically modified organisms and food in general, which is unacceptable for someone who is preparing to become the Commissioner responsible for health and consumer protection; not to mention his indifference towards the conflicts of interest in the European agencies. Finally, he leans towards the right and the far right at that. For all of these reasons, I absolutely refuse to support his appointment."@en1
