lpv:translated text	". It continues to be a remarkable fact that we in this institution cling onto the Lisbon illusion come what may. Come to think of it, it is actually not that remarkable as it is a perfect illustration of the way in which European officialdom handles legality, the rights of opposition and respect for the freely-made choices of our electorates. Lisbon, after all, has been legally dead since the referendum in Ireland. Why can we not just respect that? Fundamentally, I wonder whether we actually now need to invest another EUR 55 million in order to support the institutions of the African Union. These institutions raise scarcely a murmur of criticism about the bloody dictators that they include. I also ask myself how the perfectly valid comment about the blue card being a dreaded instrument of a further brain drain to Europe squares with the positions adopted elsewhere. Furthermore, nowhere does this report even mention the issue of illegal immigration. Maybe that is an area where we could better invest the EUR 55 million."@en1
