lpv:translated text	". It is important for a democratic Europe to have European parties. They offer the citizen the opportunity to vote for a party directly. The elections, with European lists and people heading the list of candidates, should serve as a basis for making up the European Commission. In order to form major European parties, a sound legal basis is required. In this connection, it is important to establish transparent financial criteria and guarantee the independence of politicians and political parties. We cannot be bought. It is impossible to accept money from public companies or industry, however small the amounts involved are. We are at the service of the citizen who has elected us. Brussels is an attractive base for industry to lobby from. Lobbyists often perform the useful task of informing us. However, given the sometimes conflicting interests between the European Parliament and, for example, the pharmaceutical industry (the price of AIDS medicines) or the car industry (environmental standards), we cannot possibly accept donations from them. As we are currently in the development stage of European parties, we might as well get it right from the outset by creating one European standard. I would call on the Greens, the Liberals and the Christian-Democrats to support this standard."@en1
