Andre af gruppens medlemmer, især vores irske, italienske og portugisiske kolleger, har imidlertid ønsket at lade Kommissionen nyde godt af formildende omstændigheder og undlader at stemme for dagsordenen for ikke at skabe en institutionel krise på et tidspunkt, hvor Europa står over for enorme udfordringer, uden at Kommissionen dog må fortolke denne overbærenhed som en blankocheck af tillid.
However, other members of the group, notably our Irish, Italian and Portuguese colleagues, have decided to grant the Commission mitigating circumstances and not to vote for censure, so as not to give rise to an institutional crisis at a time when Europe is faced with enormous challenges. This leniency cannot, however, be interpreted by the Commission as a blank cheque of confidence.
