lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we all know that lack of knowledge of the laws is not an excuse for breaking them. Yet Mark Twain also said that if you took the time to learn every law, you would not have time to break any of them. What do European institutions do all the time? Overwhelm citizens with new laws, regulations, directives, resolutions, implementing acts, etc., etc. European citizens are crushed by the weight of this constant influx of new legislation that is being imposed on them, and they are not the only ones: the rapporteur’s speech implies that the European Commission itself is crushed by the task of monitoring the application of this massive legislation. How will the European Commission succeed, when monitoring this process is an impossible task even for Hercules? Well, you might say, Hercules was just one man, and we have administration and officials. And you now say that we need even more administration and officials to monitor the implementation of European legislation. Yes, it is true that bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy, that is, taxes are being collected from citizens so that they can be overwhelmed with more and more red tape and new legislation, and I think this is wrong."@en1
