"Defending the independence of the mandate of Members of this House is the responsibility of Parliament, and that independence cannot be jeopardised. According to Article 8 of the Protocol on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Union, Members of the European Parliament shall not be subject to any form of inquiry, detention or legal proceedings in respect of opinions expressed or votes cast by them in the performance of their duties. However, the facts of the case relate to criminal proceedings, in which he is accused of having threatened a bailiff and some police officers, of committing acts of violence against them, of insulting them, and of generally attempting to obstruct the execution of a legal decision in the context of the eviction of the
party from its premises in Bucharest on 4 January 2011. In those criminal proceedings, Corneliu Vadim Tudor is charged with contempt of court, immoral behaviour and breach of the peace. The eviction of the
party and the circumstances surrounding this do indeed constitute, respectively, civil and criminal matters which do not have a direct, obvious connection with Mr Tudor’s performance of his duties as a Member of the European Parliament, so I voted to waive his parliamentary immunity."@en1
