Barroso's proposal unacceptable, says Sarah Ludford MEP
October 21, 2004 3:13 PM
Regarding the proposal by Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso to strip Rocco Buttiglione of the discrimination and civil liberties aspects of the justice portfolio and do those functions himself , Baroness Sarah Ludford MEP, European justice spokeswoman for the British Liberal Democrats commented:
"This is an inadequate and unacceptable non-solution. He would be enfeebled - 'castrato' as the Italians would say - instead of being the strong, single justice Commissioner we need, upholding the freedom as well as security aspects of the job."
"This splitting arrangement plus this vague idea of a working party would create hopeless complications."
