lpv:translated text	"Commissioner, I should like to pick up on a point which you made in your speech. You said that wherever we require unanimity, we shall retain unanimity, and wherever qualified majority voting is required, we shall use qualified majority voting. We all know of course that the European Parliament takes the clear view that qualified majority voting must apply as the rule and unanimity as the exception. If we forego this practice, then we also forego the subsequent promotion of the European Parliament to colegislator on all future legislative issues requiring a qualified majority. In other words, wherever we maintain unanimity, Parliament will not have the legitimate, democratic, important role which it will have in all cases requiring a qualified majority, cases which, as far as Parliament is concerned, and because of the democratic way in which it functions, should be the general rule."@en1
