"Mr President, I do not know whether Mr Berlusconi will listen to me and take up the invitation I made to him just now in my last explanation of vote, but I must say that Mr Prodi, the President of the European Commission, has listened to my sister, Anna Maria Fatuzzo, concerning this document. Why, you may ask. While talking to my sister Anna Maria about the European Community budget yesterday in Rome, she said to me, ‘As I see it, you ought to have more funds in your budget. Europe ought to have more money.’ You will not believe it, Mr President, but, the next day, all the papers in Italy – and I think all over Europe – reported the declaration by President Prodi calling for a tax, paid specifically by the citizens, called a ‘tax for Europe’: not an extra tax – which is something I would not agree with – but for European funds to be financed by means of a quota of the taxes paid by European citizens. It might be better if you had my sister Anna Maria come here: perhaps, as she is a woman, she would be listened to more than I am!"@en1
