Kapitel: Simone Veil, Philippe Douste-Blazy, Roselyne Bachelot, Xavier Bertrand, Jacques Barrot, Joseph Fontanet, Edmond Hervé. Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Jacques Barrot (born 3 February 1937 in Yssingeaux, Haute-Loire) is a French politician, currently serving as European Commissioner for Justice (since 2008), after 4 years as Commissioner for Transport. He is also one of five vice-presidents of the 27-member Barroso Commission. He previously held various ministerial positions in France, and is a member of the right-wing political party UMP. He was officially approved in his post by the European Parliament on 18 June 2008 with a vote of 489 to 52 with 19 abstentions. Barrot was a European Commissioner between April 2004 and , serving as Commissioner for Regional Policy in the Prodi Commission before being selected as a Vice-President and Commissioner for Transport in the Barroso Commission.

His conviction was automatically erased by a 1995 presidential amnesty.

Despite calls from some MEPs for him to be suspended he remained in office after a large majority accepted legal opinion that Mr Barrot was not legally required to disclose the amnesty.
