"Question No 19 by Hans-Peter Martin () A fresh attempt is currently being made to reach agreement on a Statute for MEPs. The aim is not just to establish an appropriate, universally applicable pay and allowances system, but also to make transparent and cut back a whole range of privileges which MEPs have hitherto enjoyed, privileges which include exorbitant daily allowances, flat-rate secretarial assistance allowances which require no proof to be supplied of costs actually incurred, extremely generous arrangements for the reimbursement of medical expenses from Parliament's budget and free life insurance. In connection with this process of restricting privileges and making them transparent, how does the Council intend to exert influence on the European Parliament? Is the Council prepared to make public the full text of the position paper on the Statute for Members it submitted on 26 April 2005 in the form in which it served as the basis for the negotiations? How does the Council intend to prevent the introduction of new privileges through the back door – for example by means of decisions by Parliament's Quaestors – and in what ways can the Council urge or compel Parliament to use the appropriations entered in its budget in a thrifty and efficient manner?"@en1
