UK Independence Party MEP Nigel Farage has made a strong personal attack on the EU president Herman Van Rompuy.
He told fellow MEPs that the Belgian head of the union had "the charisma of a damp rag".
Mr Van Rompuy waited until later in the session before responding: "There was one contribution that I can only hold in contempt but I am not going to comment further."
