lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, under the Reform Treaty, which I reject, there are winners and losers. The reservations of Poland and Italy regarding the new distribution of seats in Parliament were resolved, except that Poland is winning other more important battles: it obtained the opt-out from the Charter of Fundamental Rights, it will have an Advocate-General at the Court of Justice and it benefits under the Ioannina mechanism. Even Austria won a victory by being allowed to restrict access by foreign students to the country’s universities. Romano Prodi, before entering the meeting, announced that he would fight not to lose Italy’s parity. He ended up losing parity with France but restoring parity with the UK, boasting of the promise secured to reconsider the distribution of seats based on citizenship after 2014. However, we had already obtained this at the last plenary in Brussels. What was accepted by the indolent Prodi administration were just a few crumbs from the table, as a result of which around three million Europeans with Italian citizenship are considered to be less European than the Pakistanis, Indians and Kenyans who have the good fortune to work and live in the UK, or the Cameroonians in France, who, although non-Community nationals, are counted for the distribution of seats. We could not have expected anything better from the Italian Government, supported by a boorishly Communist left and by a deceitful and hypocritical centre-left. As you can see, we have other reasons for not considering the Europe of these treaties as ours and for hoping that we will soon be celebrating the of the ridiculous Prodi Government."@en1
