lpv:translated text	"Mr President, like everyone else, I am deeply concerned about the situation we have landed up in. I find it disagreeable to have taken part in the votes we have had when there are so few of us. In actual fact, I abstained from voting in all our votes this afternoon because I did not think that I wanted to be involved and participate in making decisions which are as illegitimate as I believe they must be when there are so few of us. I support the protest action which has been taken here today. I am a new Member and therefore a little shocked when I hear that the unsatisfactory state of affairs which prevails on Fridays has been going on for years, unchanged. If that is the case, vigorous protests are certainly needed so that we can bring about a change, for matters cannot continue like this. We shall be a laughing stock throughout Europe. I notice that, today, we are concluding this sitting with approximately fewer than 40 Members here to make decisions. It is disgraceful."@en1
