lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the Catania report on citizenship of the Union, which we voted out a moment ago, can claim to be one of the most undoubtedly incoherent and ill-considered texts that this House has ever produced, which is saying something. The long and short of it was that it granted the general right to vote for all elections to everyone who happens to be on our territory more or less legally. Willingness to integrate did not come into it, any more than did language command or conditions of nationality. In short, the aliens were accorded all rights, but no duties. This was indeed madness. This was the work of a handful of blinded ideologists who refused to recognise the reality of the totally failed multi-cultural model. Moreover, the sovereignty of our Member States was fundamentally damaged in this report. State citizenship and all associated rights, including the right to vote, must remain an exclusive competence of the Member States. Europe should not interfere in this. We had every right, and reason, to reject this idiotic report."@en1
