lpv:translated text	". We voted against this resolution in order to reaffirm our complete disagreement with the creation of a monthly ‘parliamentary allowance’, the same for all Members regardless of the States they represent, because we believe that MEPs’ salaries should be based on the salaries of the members of the national parliaments in the countries where they were elected, where social realities differ. If the proposal contained in the draft report drawn up by Mr Rothley on the ‘draft Statute of Members of the European Parliament’ were adopted, we insist that it would be highly immoral to have a ‘parliamentary allowance’ of EUR 8 500 (roughly 1 700 000 Portuguese escudos) a month, particularly in the case of Portuguese MEPs, when we compare it to the wages earned by workers in Portugal. Moreover, MEPs are elected in national contexts. Therefore, they are, and should continue to be, linked to these national contexts. The proposal supporting a single parliamentary allowance also fits in with a federalist concept of the MEP’s mandate, seeking to transform the current ‘national Member of the European Parliament’ into a future ‘European Member of Parliament’, which is something we disagree with."@en1
