lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would thank the Council of Ministers for its answer. I want to ask two follow-up questions connected with the taxation of ourselves as parliamentarians. My basic view is that one ought to pay tax in the country in which one lives, in which one’s family lives and in which one benefits from public services. I intended to ask the presidency if there really is an argument for saying that we should not pay tax in our own countries just as other people do. Is there any argument for our being given a special privilege just because we are parliamentarians? That is my first question. My second question is about whether the Portuguese Presidency can accept a solution which involves the tax issue’s being solved in different ways for Members of different nationalities, or whether you want a solution which is identical for members of all nationalities."@en1
