lpv:translated text	". For many years, I have worked assiduously in Parliament for a Statute for Members and genuinely want it to be possible for such a Statute to enter into force before the next term of office. I note that, unfortunately, the majority of the European Parliament deliberately put the draft Statute into a form that, for understandable reasons, can hardly be approved by the Council. As the Commission observed in its opinion, the provisions concerning Members’ immunity exceed what it is possible to approve in this context. It would be tragic if the Statute were only to enter into force once a new constitutional treaty had entered into force – probably not until 2009 as far as Parliament is concerned. At the same time, an option was approved whereby new Member States might subsequently, during two terms of office, apply other rules. Parliament did not convince the surrounding world that it in actual fact wanted to help bring about a situation in which travel costs would in future be reimbursed on the basis of actual costs. In the vote, Parliament ruled out a state of affairs in which national taxation would be an option for countries that wanted this. If the Statute is to become a reality, Parliament must be prepared to negotiate concerning the final outcome. By voting ‘no’, I wish clearly to express the fact that Parliament is divided and that Parliament’s leaders should negotiate concerning the final outcome."@en1
