lpv:translated text	"Madam Chairman, what I want to speak about is the framework agreement between the Commission and Parliament which was approved by the Conference of Presidents last Thursday. The agreement is still not available in Danish, it has still not been distributed to the majority of MEPs and it has not been discussed in any committee, and not at all in the Committee on Constitutional Affairs where I think we have the right and the duty to go through it. It ought to be read and discussed among the Members before it is signed. The text, which is available in French and which I obtained yesterday evening, is not, moreover, one and the same as that which was arrived at last Thursday as a result of the negotiations. You will remember that, towards the end of the negotiations, Mr Prodi agreed that the word ‘institutions’ in the text should be changed to ‘the Council and the Commission’, so that it will be possible, upon the President’s intervention, for documents which are issued by the Commission to recipients outside the Council and the Commission also to be issued to MEPs. I have two criticisms of the framework agreement. It does not solve those problems typically faced by MEPs. One of the problems is that, when we sit in a Committee and discuss a bill, the representatives from the different Member States, including trainees from the permanent representations who sit behind us, have the ‘restrained’ editions of the documents which we are debating but which, as MEPs, we ourselves are not entitled to receive. It is a humiliating situation when students are sent documents to which we ourselves do not have access. Another typical problem, which the framework agreement does not solve either, is that we often find ourselves in a situation in which we are able to read in the daily newspaper about a document which has been leaked from the Commission. We are then asked by journalists if we can comment on this, but we do not even have access to the document. I have just one more sentence...."@en1
