lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I was unable to assent to the Ferber report. From Parliament’s viewpoint, there is always a reason to ask for more money for our own operations. But the European Union will not become more democratic if the European Parliament receives more funding. Public opinion within Europe requires us to be frugal. The money that is available should be spent on the needs of our 375 million people and on the protection of our environment, not on the European Parliament as an institution. I am of the opinion that we could save ourselves a great deal of cost and unnecessary effort if we were to replace the system of reports and rapporteurs by getting the groups to react directly to the planned proposals, as is the case in most national parliaments. Finally, I am also against donating tax money to European syndicates of political parties and against filling vacancies for interpreters in a way which offers newcomers a poor legal position."@en1
