lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I eventually voted in favour of the Langen report, but only because we have also accepted the verbal amendment of Mrs Starkevičiūtė. With regard to Amendments 2 and 16, I voted differently from the majority of my group. One is an inflation criterion, and the other is the decision of the Commission regarding Lithuania. I would like to say that my reason for this is that even the manner in which Parliament is handling this issue, without a serious debate, is absolutely revolting. It is revolting that the Commission makes a strategic decision, and for the first time it sanctions somebody in the interest of the enlargement of the euro zone. The Commission made a strategic decision, because it did not even submit this to us for debate. This is unacceptable, especially when the Commission has done so on the basis of dubious inflation-related and other criteria, and it calls to account a country that has made many sacrifices, for criteria that are continuously breached by four or five Member States. I believe that this whole procedure damages not only the credibility of the European Parliament, but also that of the European Union and of the euro zone in the states that joined in 2004 or will join in the future. Therefore, both the Commission and that part of Parliament that did not wish to conduct a longer debate on the unilateral decision of the Commission, have a very serious responsibility."@en1
