".
I voted for the PSE amendment to paragraph 2 in the vote. In approving this amendment we are opening the door to resuming discussions with the Council on the future statute for the Members of the European Parliament, in the hope that this statute will at last be brought in with all possible speed.
As far as I am concerned, this vote in no way signifies approbation of the resolution of 5 May 1999 on the Statute for Members. I still believe that with this draft statute the majority of the Members of Parliament failed to give the voters a clear signal that they want to renounce the excessive privileges and remuneration entitlements. That is why, on 5 May last, I voted against the aforementioned resolution together with my socialist party colleagues in the PSE group of this Parliament.
The SP will also continue to be a zealous advocate in the new European Parliament of a fair and just statute with a transparent remuneration system on the basis of costs incurred, and is therefore also able to identify with the proposals that the Council has drawn up on this matter. The socialist party believes that this statute should be approved as quickly as possible. It must form the basis for far-reaching reforms within the European Parliament so that our institution too is in a position to win back the trust of the citizens of the European Union. The demands we make of the Council and the Commission we must also be prepared to ask of ourselves."@en1
