lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we have once again become aware of weeping and wailing in European Commission circles over the alarmingly high cost of translation into national languages within Parliament and other European Union institutions. The Commission’s crocodile tears really are ridiculous. The cost has indeed exceeded EUR one billion this year, but it must be recognised that this is also a matter of demonstrating an appreciation of the value of linguistic and national diversity. It is precisely that diversity, together with the respect for national identity which is largely expressed through the use of the language, that ensure acceptance of the concept of the European Communities by the citizens of the Member States. I would suggest that those seeking to save by reducing translation should consider cutting costs elsewhere. The best way to do so would be by reducing their own salaries."@en1
