lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the European Parliament is a key element in the European Union’s constitutional order. During the long negotiations on treaty revision, the Union made substantial progress in establishing the basic conditions for uniform elections, despite the absence of a single electoral law. Several of the problems encountered by previous rapporteurs have been dealt with satisfactorily. There is a category of issues that might have seemed problematic at the start of the exercise to introduce direct elections, but, as my fellow Member has pointed out, the focus should be on progress, and many of these issues have therefore been resolved already. Parliament’s importance and powers have grown substantially since 1979, thanks in part to the Treaty of Lisbon, which has made us much more powerful. In this respect, Parliament both needs and deserves an electoral system and an internal organisation which is commensurate with its new duties. Last but not least, elections to the European Parliament should be more straightforward, easy to understand and appealing to citizens of Member States."@en1
