"Mr President, I wish to make a brief point of order. I was due to leave for Washington on Tuesday with the Delegation of Coordinators of the temporary Committee of Enquiry on ‘ECHELON’, which was to make an official visit to the United Nations from 9 to 11 May. The United States Ambassador to Brussels has now informed me that my visa has been refused for political reasons, that the file had gone to Washington and the United States Embassy advised me to cancel my trip with the delegation.
If it were possible, Mr President, I should like Parliament’s Bureau to take this matter up with the American authorities, as Mr Wurtz, Chairman of the GUE/NGL Group has already done, because I think it would be a scandal if the United States government could decide on who should be a member of a European Parliament delegation."@en1
