lpv:translated text	"Madam President, we have read in the newspapers that five million euros’ worth of Parliament property has been purloined and that Parliament’s finances have been poorly managed. In addition, a report by the Court of Auditors of the European Communities is due shortly on the use of resources by Parliament’s political groups, and it is not a flattering picture. These are big issues, and Parliament must address them seriously. I wish to speak about some small matters which I would not normally raise in the parliamentary plenary session, but it is astonishing that the bureaucratic machinery of the House is unable to rectify such small matters. I have already, on many occasions, bemoaned the fact here in plenary that Parliament’s television system fails to produce a picture for Finnish television. Finland is the only country whose television picture cannot be picked up in Parliament. I would have hoped that such a small matter as this would be sorted out. The Dutch often complained about the lack of Dutch television during parliamentary part sessions. They now get two channels, and I hope that we Finns will now get at least one. And then, might we not still hope for hot water in the pipes, which has not been available during this new Parliament’s term of office? I have already complained about this on various occasions in parliamentary sittings. What is the problem with you bureaucrats, that you cannot sort these things out in this House? Meanwhile you allow five million euros to be stolen!"@en1
