"Mr President, I should like to draw attention to a somewhat unusual situation that has arisen in my country, Poland. In relation to the European Parliament and in particular to elections to this House, Polish law states unequivocally that any changes to the electoral statute must be tabled six months before an election. The Polish Government was late in submitting changes to the electoral statute for the European Parliament, however. One of these changes concerns reducing the number of Polish MEPs. As a result, the new electoral statute providing for fewer Polish Members of this House could be challenged by the Constitutional Court. Indeed, the legality of European Parliament elections in my country, Poland, could actually be called into question. This is an extraordinary situation, unheard of in the history of the European Parliament. Unfortunately, responsibility for it lies with the Polish Government."@en1
