In line with the explanation of vote I gave yesterday, I could not vote otherwise in this final vote, because my reservations are a matter of principle and are fundamental, since they are closely bound to the global nature of the European institutions. I have therefore voted against the report once again.
I wish, however, to add my surprise at – and disagreement with – the fact that, on the pretext of establishing a system of equality for all Members and a single statute, the possibility of separate arrangements, as well as privileged different situations for some Members, is still being pursued. One only has to look, for example, at the fact that for at least one more legislature some re-elected Members can keep open the option of enjoying a different system of remuneration. Now, apart from the fact that this approach is completely unsustainable in the political context of the new Statute, this could lead to a situation that is quite negative and completely unmanageable, since it would constitute a dual form of discrimination: firstly, it is a different system to that of Members from other Member States; and, secondly, it is also a different system to that applying to other Members of the EP elected in the same Member State. I do not know what is more surprising: the fact that this absurd system has been adopted or the fact that even the European Commission has agreed..."@en1
