".
Mr President, I shall be very brief. I would like to say that this is a complex issue. Clearly we are talking about an issue which has not changed since 1965, despite the spectacular progress which has been made in the institutional elements of European integration and particularly with regard to the capacities and duties of Parliament, such as its means of election. Nevertheless, we have been unable to adapt the Statute for Members of the European Parliament to today’s circumstances.
As a former Member of this and other parliaments, I understand the importance and the implications of the Statute for Members and of the report presented to us today by Mr Rothley. I would like to congratulate him on his work and, on behalf of the Commission, wish him the best possible results. We hope that tomorrow there will be a concrete response so that we can vote on this matter.
Our objective is to cooperate actively so that, ultimately, we achieve an agreement that might be accepted by the Council, because otherwise we all know that it will serve little purpose. We hope to be able to achieve this agreement once and for all."@en1
