lpv:translated text	"Mr President, may I say that I share the indignation, doubts and criticism voiced by numerous honourable members in the House about Echelon which, as we can see from the Schmid report, is not the stuff of detective novels. However, I should like, if I may, to focus on one point. As I understand it, Echelon allows certain Member States of the European Union – one Member State at least and maybe others – to attend top-level meetings in the European Union armed with knowledge of the negotiating tactics, positions and strategy of the other Member States. What I want to know is, if this is true, then exactly what are the final decisions worth? How can we trust them, how biased, to use the English expression, are they? And how can the Heads of State and Government of the other Member States accept them? Madam President-in-Office, I would be most interested in hearing your views on this. How long will it be before we read the memoirs of some US president or high-ranking British officer and see how much political capital they made from Echelon and how big a laugh they had at our expense?"@en1
