"Mr President, I would like to express my sadness at the fact that my good friend and colleague, Isidoro Sánchez García, is leaving this Parliament, but I am taking the floor for another reason. Yesterday morning two Members, Mr Sturdy, a British MEP, and Mr Ripoll y Martínez de Bedoya, a Spanish MEP, took the floor to complain about the problems faced by Community citizens when registering to vote. Like Mr Ripoll y Martínez de Bedoya, I come from a tourist region, the Canaries. I have also received numerous complaints from Community citizens with regard to their ability to register. I have acquired the necessary information and the problem is that the Spanish legislation on registration would appear to be very detailed; for example, I have two pages here, which are the ones given out, which mention time limits for complaints, etc., and these are normally very difficult for Community citizens to fill in. It seems that the problem is a lack of communication between the Spanish authorities in general. I therefore join Mr Ripoll y Martínez de Bedoya in calling on the European institutions to ensure that Community citizens are registered to vote in this month’s autonomous and regional elections throughout Spanish territory."@en1
