lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I naturally concur with Mrs Hautala’s views on transparency. I would also like to thank the Commissioner for his proposal in which we will be given the opportunity to exchange ideas here with Parliament which is, after all, eminently suited to express its opinion on this matter. But what we need is an initiative – albeit hopelessly overdue – from the Commission. After all, for the past twenty years, we at the European Free Alliance have been bringing together political parties which want to help build Europe on the basis of a diversity of cultures, peoples and regions. In this connection, we have always attempted to stand up for the small and the weak, who cannot represent themselves in this big Parliament but whose concerns we are trying to take into consideration. Up to now, it has been impossible to do this fully transparently, because there has been no clarity with regard to the European parties’ expenditure and revenue, among other things. But there are questions left unanswered concerning the future too. It has not yet been mentioned here, Commissioner, but I would like to raise the question nevertheless. Will the European democratic parties which in future appoint themselves as European parties only be supported if they stand for the values on which Europe is built? This seems a rhetorical question to me. I hope that the Commission can give me a clear answer to it."@en1
