"Madam President, Commissioner, Mrs Bauer, I am obliged first of all to talk about my profound disappointment with you for the way that you have carried out a negotiation in which Parliament was not respected and for the way that you are presenting this debate here today, which is very economical with the truth. It is not true, Commissioner, that this is about including self-employed drivers: they have already been included since 2009. It is you who wish to remove the self-employed from the directive. Nor is it true, Commissioner, that we are not talking about health and safety on the road: that is exactly what we are talking about, Commissioner. We are not talking about anything other than the safety of self-employed drivers and members of the European public who travel on the roads; that is what we are talking about and here you are wheeling out false arguments. As always, you are adducing bureaucracy. It is not true. You have been singing the praises of the tachograph and the great strides that its use has caused in the regulation of driving in Europe. It can be applied without any need for bureaucracy. What you are doing is putting the economic interests of the few above the rights of the majority; that is what is really happening. Once again, you are disproving what you say about people coming before business: business comes before people for you. I wish to record our protest here and I hope that Parliament once again says that the public, safety, law and truth are what is most important. I protest, Commissioner: I am very disappointed. Mrs Bauer, I am very disappointed with the way in which you have carried out this debate and this negotiation."@en1
