"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, on a personal note, I would simply like to reiterate that contrary to your assertion, and other than this you have been consistent throughout this parliamentary term, for the last 30 years I have always been re-elected to this Parliament. What happened was that within the team spirit of the Radical Party, and having advised the voters in advance, I gave up my seat to other colleagues such as Olivier Dupuis, who served in this House and elsewhere. What you said was therefore incorrect, let me repeat, I was re-elected every time, for 30 years.
Unfortunately, this time, Mr President – although you were in fact here in the days of Otto von Habsburg and Altiero Spinelli, who encouraged our Parliament to make a real stand against the Council’s demands by refusing to issue opinions – well, Mr President, this time we have both witnessed this Parliament content to behave like a ‘taxi parliament’ when faced with the desire to impose non-parliamentary timelines on us – and you did impose them – in relation to the failed Lisbon project."@en1
