lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr van Hulten, your work is worthy of being qualified as enterprising, arduous and complex, and I believe this is important in a first report. Please therefore accept what I am about to say as being criticism made in the spirit of honest debate, and I believe that in this way our debate here today will be richer. This report seems to me to be redundant, long-winded, confused and lacking in accuracy in the terms used. Perhaps ‘redundant’ is the most serious epithet, and you are not responsible for this. It is the responsibility of this Parliament. That is to say, if this Parliament commissions a Committee of Experts – and I am not going to repeat what Mr Casaca has said, but I agree with him to a large extent – to analyse a problem, where is the sense in indulging in the medieval tradition of criticising the critics and so on . Clearly we are awaiting this reform from the Commission, we are awaiting the proposals which the Commission is going to make to us and this Parliament will have to express its opinion on them. Meanwhile, we have to offer the Commission a vote of confidence. ‘Long-winded’. I am not going to mention the length of this report. I do not know if it breaks the record for all the resolutions presented here, but, for this type of resolution it certainly does. I do not believe that there has ever been a resolution – and in this Parliament we certainly produce complex resolutions – which has had paragraphs of more than 16 lines without a single full stop. It is also ‘confusing’. I am not going to return to what has been said about the analysis of questions concerning Parliament. That should be the subject of another report and we will have to carry one out and consider that issue, but not in this report. And finally, Mr President, frankly, I am not going to give examples, but there are many cases in which legal language is used with an alarming lack of accuracy. Therefore – in summary – I await, and many of us await, your report, Commissioner Kinnock, so that we can really express our opinion on it, which is the duty of this Parliament."@en1
