lpv:translated text	"I once wrote a book on the emergence of human rights theory and on the American Constitution, so I have some understanding of the positive aspects of this document. What I do not understand, however, is why the European Parliament wishes freely to condemn itself to a second-class position by supporting this document. Article III-330(2) reads as follows: ‘A European law of the European Parliament shall lay down the regulations and general conditions governing the performance of the duties of its Members. The European Parliament shall act on its own initiative after seeking an opinion from the Commission and after obtaining the consent of the Council. The Council shall act unanimously on all rules or conditions relating to the taxation of Members or former Members.’ This preserves the supremacy of the Commission, the executive, which has more rights than we do, and it also preserves the unjust disparities between us as legitimate representatives of the European people. Only we are truly legitimate, with all the other European bodies being derivative, and so I believe that this provision must be omitted. Although Mrs Wallström has just said that we would have more democracy, I do not think that it is more democracy we want, but merely democracy, pure and simple."@en1
