lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the rapporteur has done a very good job, but I would like to take this opportunity, within this context, to say that our prose is very confused, as anyone who looks at European legislation would tell us. We are forgetting what von Pufendorf taught us, namely, that general laws should be few in number and they should be correctly understood. To that end, those who enact laws ought to be as clear as possible. Montesquieu always stressed that legal language must be precise and concise. In other words, we must avoid using complex doublespeak, full of neologisms and unjustified linguistic borrowings, because it produces an evil web where traps lie in wait and arbitrariness resides. In this Parliament, we deal with complex subjects, but it is our obligation to ensure they are passed on to citizens in an accessible and comprehensible manner. It often happens that even legal professionals – judges and lawyers – despair at our texts. Good prose, ladies and gentlemen, is a courteous gesture by the legislator and a way of showing respect for citizens."@en1
