"All decisions on elections must be taken only and exclusively at the level of the Member States. The Council and Parliament should merely play a consultative role concerning the month and year. There is no need to set dates or change the month of election. I do not agree with the efforts to enhance pan-European governance. Genuine democracy is firmly rooted within the Member States. Research has shown that Poles, Germans, Czechs and Spaniards feel that they are, first and foremost, Poles, Germans, Czechs or Spaniards rather than citizens of the European Union and Europeans. For that reason, decisions on elections must be taken only and exclusively at the level of the Member States. That is why I voted against."@en1
