lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, today we have a chance to remove the barriers which have held back meaningful discussion on the whole question of the Statute of Members. If we can make progress on the Statute, then we can tackle the thorny question of our own expenses. Because of the covert way in which we MEPs are paid expenses, we have left ourselves wide open to criticism. The Statute and the reform of the expenses are inextricably linked; they go hand in hand, as Mr Rothley clearly pointed out. Therefore, while we are asking the Council to make progress on the Statute, I am asking Parliament to make progress on reform of the expenses scheme because, if we bring in a system that is clear, unambiguous and fair as regards our expenses, then we can face the electorate with confidence again next June."@en1
