lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Article 2 of the Treaty of Lisbon states that the EU is founded on pluralism, which must be respected by the Member States. The Treaty of Amsterdam states that the capacity of public service television should be maintained and increased. Article 11 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights states that the freedom and pluralism of the media are to be respected. As for the Commission, the role of the public television services is crucial in order to ensure pluralism and the democratic process. In 2008, this very Parliament stated that having public stations alongside private stations was the basis of pluralism in the media throughout the EU, as a guarantee of effective independence from political pressure and market forces. I could go on! The Portuguese Government wants to throw all of this out of the window, putting an end to the public television service as part of a process that lacks transparency and was not voted for by a majority of the Portuguese public, but we will nevertheless prevent the government from doing so with the means at our disposal. We will do so here in Parliament, in the Commission, in the EU Court of Justice, and in the Council. Tomorrow, I will speak with the European Broadcasting Union, and next week with the High Level Group on Media Freedom and Pluralism. I will say the same thing to all of them: Portugal has signed laws, treaties and conventions that it must respect. This is not the law of the jungle – Miguel Relvas is not at large here!"@en1
