"Ladies and gentlemen, there is nothing older than yesterday’s news, as the saying goes. In practice, however, this House could make do with one newspaper for a whole year. This is the length of time that has passed since the election of the new Parliament, and yet we continue to tell our visitors – some 200 000 of whom have visited Parliament’s buildings here in Strasbourg and in Brussels in the space of a year – that Mr Cox is the President of Parliament. The leaflets that contain this information, along with the former composition of Parliament’s governing bodies and the number of seats previously held by the various groups, have been out of date for a long time. I should therefore like to ask how much longer we will continue to drag our heels in this fashion, given that we want the European public not only to respect our decisions, but also to comply with them. I believe that we should all be ashamed of distributing such outdated materials to tens of thousands of people."@en1
