lpv:translated text	"Madam President, this report is clearly divorced from the reality of the European Union and the situation we are currently experiencing. For this reason we do not support it. For a start, we disagree with the proposal of having 25 additional Members who would be elected by a single constituency made up of the entire territory of the European Union. That would especially favour the larger countries, ignoring the fact that there are currently 27 Member States, whose people have the right to elect as Members people whom they know and who are in regular contact with them. Secondly, it is inadmissible that, once again, an attack be made on the right to representation of the smaller and medium-sized Member States, reducing their chance of direct representation, which will end up further distancing elected representatives from the ordinary voters, weakening democracy and contributing to an increase in abstention in European elections."@en1
