"Mr President, many things have already been said and, in the minute at my disposal, I will not even be able to cover the most important aspects. I believe that there is no doubt as to the need to adopt a statute, even from the point of view of the role and legitimacy of this Parliament. Furthermore, everyone in my group, in particular Mr Rothley and Mr Barón Crespo and the Italian delegation, have always declared themselves in favour of the Statute and have always supported the need for it, voting for it with conviction last June. I believe, however, that we should not delude ourselves, Mr President. What we are, in fact, discussing today – and, if it is necessary, let us do so – is not the Statute, but the adjustments of salaries. I think that it is rather humiliating for Parliament, but that is all we are discussing. Let us call a spade a spade. If it is the only thing we can do – and this is the Council’s responsibility – let us do it; but we must not call it a statute, because this is not a statute."@en1
