"Mr President, one minute is not enough for me to tell Mr Potočnik about the concerns that his report to Parliament raises. We are not in court here, Mr Potočnik; we are in the European Parliament. I will make just two comments about the culture that your report expresses. First, if your arguments prevailed in every country in Europe, we would have neither the Lisbon Charter nor even probably the Human Rights Charter. We would have a return to an industrial relations system based on rules that are unacceptable to all the political groups in Parliament, as I have heard.
The second remark I would like to make to you is this: you should realise that a decision like the one you insist on making sends a terrible message to Parliament, namely that a rule is coming into force in Europe, in Parliament and in the European institutions that was typical of peoples’ democracies during the Soviet era throughout the twentieth century, that is to say: ‘give little and expect little’. The signs are there already in the structures and relations concerning translations, and these are the results."@en1
