lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I am very pleased that this proposal by Mr Duff is finally on the table, because it genuinely represents a step in the direction of a common European political system. All of us are elected at national level. That means that, in our home countries, we are primarily asked about what is important from a national perspective and not what is important from a European perspective. For us to actually have 25 MEPs who are elected at European level in addition to the other Members makes perfect sense. I am in favour of the idea of doing this within the framework of the 751 MEPs and also – as has already been suggested by Mr Häfner – not at the expense of the small Member States. I come from a small Member State myself and I am not concerned that we will lose out here, because we could say that with 751 MEPs, the number of MEPs will stay the same for each Member State (Austria will soon have 19), and these MEPs will be elected either from the national or the European list. To Mrs Tiçau I would say: there are constituencies at national and regional level in our home countries, too. Why not also for Europe? To Mr Wieland I would say: you mentioned a complicated formula, but that is no longer in the report. I hope that we will indeed take a step towards more Europe – with regard to the elections, too."@en1
