lpv:translated text	"− The Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) is the largest group in the European Parliament, and due to our numbers the position of our group is critical in the various Committee and plenary votes. As Vice-President of the PPE Group I have been responsible for the legislative work of the group since 2009; this work involves legislative coordination, consultation, as well as the establishment of the legislative working programme and strategy. Furthermore, as ‘Chief Whip’ it is my responsibility to ensure group discipline at votes, which consists in my showing the entire PPE Group the position to be represented at plenary votes. The aim of the PPE Group is to create European unity that is based on common European values, traditions and culture, and carries decisive political weight. However, since the Hungarian delegation to the PPE Group is working actively to promote the interests of our home country, we represent our own national interests in the European Parliament as well, and it can therefore happen that the position of the Hungarian delegation differs from the position of the PPE Group. In order to avoid contradicting myself due to my obligations stemming from my position as Vice-President, I do not directly participate in recorded votes cast by pressing buttons where the group votes differently than the Hungarian Members. This means that I do not press the voting button, but indicate the previously agreed position to the PPE Group by raising my hand."@en1
