Socialist MEPs attack McCreevy over free market policies
The Socialist group sent a letter to commission president Jose Manuel Barroso saying they had lost trust and confidence in the former Irish finance minister and accused him of not producing regulation covering all financial players.
This, they said, was contrary to the will of the European Parliament and also ignored assurances to the MEPs from Mr Barroso and the current EU president, French President Nicholas Sarkozy and to the conclusions of the G20 summit in Washington last month.
