FT.com / Comment & analysis / Editorial comment - Barrot must go   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) Mr Barroso tempted fate when he allowed his spokeswoman to describe the previously undisclosed and amnestied conviction of Jacques Barrot, the French transport commissioner, for party funding offences as a "minor case". The details of the Barrot affair appear minor against the long and sorry history of party funding offences in many continental countries. But Mr Barrot's failure to mention the episode either to Mr Barroso or to the European parliament has shown an inability to appreciate the need for commissioners to be totally candid if they are to earn the trust of an increasingly sceptical European public. www.ft.com /cms/s/f0bd9ff0-3cf4-11d9-bb7b-00000e2511c8.html   (573 words)
