On 4 February 1997, the Chamber of Deputies rejected with 250 votes in favor and 311 votes against a motion of no confidence filed by the Northern League and National Alliance against him on the charge of not having been able to protect Italian breeders before the European Union on the issue of milk quotas.
He was made Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic by the President in Rome on 21 December 2005.
