lpv:translated text	"Mr President, this is the last time this week that the House will be meeting in such great numbers. I would like to draw your attention and the attention of fellow Members to a very sad matter. This Parliament’s reputation with the press is excellent, because for the past twenty years, Parliament has managed to issue press releases for the written press twice a day. This previous system has now been changed. I had a brief look to see how the system worked this week. The press release to commemorate former President Pflimlin did not appear until 11.22 p.m. on Monday evening. The report on the Feira Summit was issued on Tuesday morning, the report on Tuesday morning’s discharge sitting was issued at 9.12 p.m. The report on Zimbabwe, Tuesday afternoon, was issued at 10.55 p.m. The report on the European Central Bank on Wednesday morning was issued at 8.00 p.m. the same day. This kind of reporting is not really of much use at all to the written press. At that time of the day, editorial staff have gone home and we are, in a way, generating old news. I would ask you, Mr President, to revert back to the old system and to ensure that the press releases, the daily press releases, not only appear on time, but also afford a general overview – in a decentralised manner – for each language. I would ask you to request the Bureau to think about this very carefully and reconsider their decision."@en1
