Pauline Green
Dame Pauline Green DBE is a former Labour and Cooperative Member of the European Parliament and former Leader of the Parliamentary Group of the Party of European Socialists . As leader of the PES, she had a central role in the controversy surrounding the failure to discharge the European Commission s 1996 budget, bringing the first motion of censure against the Commission but voting against it. She then changed her position following corruption allegations raised by EC official Paul van Buitenen to call for Jacques Santer to react promptly or be sacked. Green lost the leadership of the PES in 1999, which was attributed in part to her handling of the incident.
Green was born Pauline Wiltshire in Gira on the island of Malta to an English soldier serving with the Royal Artillery and his Maltese sweetheart in 1948. The family moved between Malta, Egypt and Germany, following Greens father wherever he was stationed. As a result, Green spent a lot of very young days in army barracks and missed out on secondary and further education.
