"Mr President, I am not impressed by Mr Berlusconi’s political and moral leadership and, unfortunately, Italy is not top of the list of countries when it comes to freedom of the press. However, freedom of information and of the press is primarily a matter for Italy itself. The Italians themselves must take action on this. Fortunately, they are indeed doing so, for example, by lifting the immunity of the Italian Prime Minister. In addition, the recent launch of the newspaper shows that there is a critical press in Italy and that it has room to manoeuvre. Therefore, I call on the Italians themselves to remain vigilant for any attacks on freedom of the press in their country. I hope it is not necessary for the Brussels bureaucracy to interfere in this. After all, we do not want ‘more Europe’ but rather a Europe that focuses on its core tasks. Only then can Europe gain the confidence of the electorate."@en1
