"Madam President, I would like to raise a point of order because the Members of Parliament have just received a directory, published apparently by the American Chamber of Commerce in Belgium, which gives a list of the European Members of Parliament together with their details. Well, reading my own details and those of some of the Members in the same group, It is not the name of my party or my Group, the Union for a Europe of Nations Group that I find, but instead a totally subjective assessment, “nationalist, anti European Union”.
I find it somewhat strange, Madam President, for it to be the Americans who are sorting out who are the good and bad Europeans. It is even stranger for the Secretary-General of the European Parliament, perhaps unwittingly in violation of the duty of confidentiality, to be providing a flattering preface to this directory, in which I can read, in particular, that the directory is a useful reference work for the business community, and even a true public service!
Madam President, I think that the good will of the Secretary-General has been abused. I do not think that he had seen all the details included in this directory.
Would it be possible for him to send a letter to the authors of this directory to say that he is not responsible for these subjective descriptions and to ask for an amendment. Otherwise, I should, of course, be forced to think that this is truly a case of infringement of the requirement for confidentiality.
