lpv:translated text	"Commissioner, your response has disappointed rather than surprised me. I will continue to insist that the Commission pursue this matter very closely. I can make no further comment on what you have told us, since you have in fact told us nothing. Please do not take this as a personal attack, as it is intended rather as an attack on the content of the material submitted by the Commission. My colleague Mr Hudacký, who like myself is from Slovakia, spoke of how a political squabble has been escalated to the Chamber of the European Parliament. I would like to state categorically that what happened at the Interior Ministry has been roundly condemned even by the deputy chairman of the Committee for Defence and Security, who is a member of the governing coalition, from the party of Premier Dzurinda. This indicates that the affair cannot be dismissed as an internal political squabble. It is now a question for the European Commission to state whether it is acceptable to suppress the rights of police officers in Slovakia. For, a police officer is an EU citizen and an employee just as any other EU citizen or employee. We have placed two important questions before the Commission. These questions are all the more important for us because there may have been a breach of the European Human Rights Convention and of the Code of Police Ethics of the Council of Europe. We believe that the European Commission has a duty to give its opinion on whether or not the rights of citizens of an EU Member State have been breached. Parliament yesterday allowed this question to be referred to the Commission, thereby giving a very strong signal that it does not agree with the use of such practices by any EU Member State. Therefore, Commissioner, I ask once again that this matter not be sidelined and that we return to it at the next sitting of Parliament, and that you inform the MEPs about the opinion of the Commission."@en1
