lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr Voggenhuber has just laid stress on the principle of openness, and I would just like to make a few brief observations on it. Let me say, while we are on this subject, that I well recall the arbitrary treatment meted out to my own country, Austria, in relation to what we are talking about. The Austrian Socialists, who have for some time now been calling themselves Social Democrats, were fully involved in the underhand manoeuvres that were going on at the time. I also have very precise recollections of a telephone call from the then Austrian Chancellor, Viktor Klima, a Socialist, who was fully in the know and told me that all he demanded of me was that nothing should get out. Never again must principles of this sort be applied in this fashion, whether in party politics or in affairs of State, for without transparency there is no democracy. It is precisely for this reason that tracing the course of these events and making them accessible to the public is so very important."@en1
