lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, a few short messages can only be communicated in the space of one minute. The first message is without doubt one of thanks to the Presidency-in-Office of the Council for having in some way helped to put this debate back onto the agenda. An even more heartfelt message of thanks is offered to this Parliament. You will allow me to do this, because an objective that I consider to be of great political value, as a demonstration of the progress we are making towards a process of European political integration, is being reached through this acknowledgment of the coherent role of being a Member of the European Parliament. This Parliament has also accepted a number of compromise assessments that I would prefer were not ignored. The principle of non-discrimination is invoked, which is sacrosanct. That is one of the reasons why I will vote with conviction in favour of those ideas: the principle of non-discrimination cannot be sustained, however, even on the assessments of the comparison with members of national parliaments. Presenting the fact that the salary and allowance regime is different from that of national MPs as a privilege, while disregarding the fact that that was the one single condition preventing a Member of the European Parliament from being considered to carry out a hierarchically subordinate role to that of a member of a national parliament, is not, in my opinion, satisfactory. The same is true for other items. I will, however, conclude my speech by making just one point, Mr President – if you will allow me – in a second. We are finally reaching an objective that does justice to so many false debates and so many provocations on the issue of transparency. We will realise it. We will realise it when we finally embark on a so-called system of ‘payment of expenses actually incurred’ and see the effects on the parliamentary budget."@en1
