lpv:translated text	". Mr Lamassoure’s report on the European Union’s system of own resources is clearly designed to be ideological in nature. There is a refusal to get involved, and I quote, ‘in the details of … a[n] outdated, unjust and untransparent system’, whose main fault, in the rapporteur’s eyes, lies in the fact that it is not the European Parliament that decides on the matter. That is just as well, moreover, as, judging from what has been said in this Assembly, it would not have been long before European taxpayers would have been subject to an additional tax deducted directly by Brussels. Free consent to taxation (by citizens or their representatives) is a fundamental principle of the constitutional state, just as the ability to levy tax is a prerogative of the State. Therein lies the problem, furthermore. The European Union is not a State and cannot in any circumstances take it upon itself to levy tax. By ignoring the rejection by the French, Dutch and Irish of the European Constitution, it consistently demonstrates, moreover, that it cares little for the free consent of the individual nations. Unfortunately, it prefers lies, manipulation or even force."@en1
