"Today’s vote was crucial for the future working of the EP. It was necessary to have, on such a sensitive issue, a firm political indication from the EP towards the European Council, showing that national interests can be overcome to agree on a better system than the one laid down by the Nice Treaty. Even if the proposal made today is far from being perfect, it is fairer than the distribution of seats laid down by the Nice Treaty. After the EP unanimously called on the Council to define the term ‘citizens’ as provided in Article 9a(2) in good time before the next elections in 2014, I decided, in the interest of my country and the working of the EP, to vote in favour of the report, as this shows some progress in relation to what had been agreed upon before."@en1
