lpv:translated text	"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the right to European citizenship must be safeguarded by the proper implementation of the Treaty of Lisbon, a task entrusted primarily to the representatives of the EU citizens elected in the territory of the Member States, with the aim of asserting a genuine right to European citizenship as a basic prerogative of every citizen who identifies with Europe’s values. The postponement of the vote on the report, which was intended to modify the provisions on the election of the Members of the European Parliament, takes nothing away from the excellent work done by the rapporteur and the committee. Rather, it is evidence of careful consideration because, while the creation of a transnational list accomplishes the task of guaranteeing a single form of representation, the need to ensure that the elected political ruling class genuinely represents the individual regions is clearer than ever today. The United States of Europe depends above all on the common application of the values of solidarity and integration for the benefit of the entire Community, in particular the outermost and island regions, which are more exposed than ever today to the growing pressure of illegal immigration. I am convinced that the rapporteur and the committee will work hard to make changes that embrace the sentimental view of a Europe that is genuinely united, not least by a single electoral constituency, yet based on the need for those who are elected to represent their region. For one thing is certain: citizens today genuinely want to identify with Europe. This is on condition that the European Union recognises the size and the needs of the regions, because it must start there in order to come up with an organisational model that genuinely responds to citizens’ needs."@en1
