"Madam President, our first task is to make European Union citizens interested in European issues. Over the years numerous important steps have been taken to improve various election systems, and therefore an additional list of elections to the European Parliament will hopefully help our citizens to become more actively involved in the election process. However, the European Parliament itself has not yet fulfilled all its obligations, laid down in the Treaties of Paris and Rome. I am talking about the harmonisation of election procedures in the Member States and the right of individual candidates to stand for office, as well as other problematic issues. I believe that we should also take into account the shortcomings of the current system mentioned by the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe, which are preventing the European Parliament from fully implementing the principles of democracy and are failing to encourage our citizens to become actively involved in elections, because they are simply disappointed by the slow pace of reform."@en1
