lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I am taking the floor to invoke the Rules of Procedure. I would just like to confirm that the Radical Members present will not be taking part in the vote this time either. This is because, despite the good will of numerous, individual Members – whom I thank – this institution has not found a solution regarding the non-attached Members, a situation which is intolerable from an administrative and financial point of view, but even more so from the point of view of Parliamentary privileges – we have no powers of amendment or resolution. Mr President, we have been democratically elected just like you and we represent two and a half million European citizens, and yet, during the last part-session, in order to table an amendment we were forced to beg and sell it to another parliamentary group. Frankly, this is intolerable! We are taking this matter to Court and I think that we will win. Mr President, a month has already passed and the rapporteur of the amendment has only just been appointed. We are quite familiar with the slow machinery of this Parliament, where the average time for a report to come from the Committee on Constitutional Affairs to this House is twenty-one months. Now, in these coming twenty-one months, we will not be reduced to a button-pressing machine and vote when you allow us to, voting on resolutions which we did not even have the chance of putting to your vote. I hope that many Members will hear the call to uphold Members’ dignity and privileges and support those who have been elected just like you and who, just like you, want to defend Parliament’s dignity. We are against groups and your bureaucracies! We are Members of Parliament and we represent European citizens with the same legitimacy that you represent yours!"@en1
