"Mr President, as I had half a minute left over from my previous speaking time, which I usually do not use up, I would like to use that time to make a few observations. Mrs Kessler might want to do the same at the end. I must say that I was greatly perturbed by Mrs Frahm’s intervention, because she claimed that the proposals represent quite a step backwards, and that is simply not true. Maybe we need to have a one-to-one on this, but I think that you cannot make a claim about this proposal which simply bears no relation to reality. I do believe that we must be extremely careful that the small delegations do not feel excluded. All rapporteurs were from the largest and larger delegations, and we might need to consider how we could also involve the smaller delegations in those activities more in future.
Finally, I must say that, in my opinion, Mrs Hautala’s example of those Russian dolls was not all that appropriate. If there is one country which is currently showing how to ruin disclosure, then it is surely Russia with the media campaigns which are taking place there at the moment.
Mr President, my last observation relates to the fact that the debates show up the cultural differences. Hardly any representatives from southern European countries have spoken. You are southern European, and Mr Barnier is French, but that was it. Let us hope that this debate also strikes home with our southern European MEPs, for those countries might need public transparency more than anyone else."@en1
