lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I said in this Chamber that I felt the French Commissioner Jacques Barrot was unsuitable to be a European Commissioner because he had received a conviction for embezzlement and been suspended from public office. Despite the fact that what I said was true, it caused a huge outcry. I was told that because he had been amnestied by President Chirac under French law, it was an offence ever in public, in France, to refer to the incident. So there was a lot of speculation over whether the French police were going to come into this building and arrest me. But the President of Parliament at the time said: no, that is not the case because the European Parliament, rather like the United Nations in New York, is an organisation whose buildings are extraterritorial. So that ruling was perfectly clear. How can it be, with that precedent having been set, that you can refer an alleged incident between two MEPs that took place in an official committee room, in this Parliament, to the French police? Can you please tell us: are these buildings extraterritorial or are we actually here, now, in France, under French law?"@en1
