lpv:translated text	"Mr President, personally, I have never smoked and I am well aware of the dangers of smoking for the health of both the individual and of the public at large. I am therefore against smoking. Nevertheless, I voted against certain amendments that I would describe as excessive, and I abstained many times, because I feel that what we are witnessing here is a typical example of European over-regulation. Some of my fellow Members clearly do not properly understand the legislator’s role. A legislator can prohibit or authorise, but should not make sermons in legislative texts, which is what we do here all the time. That kind of thing is fine for an explanatory statement, but not for legislative texts. I come from a country where tobacco is not grown and I can therefore speak freely on the issue of producers. I think that removing subsidies for tobacco producers will not stop smokers from smoking. What it will do is open the door for tobacco imports from outside the European Community."@en1
