lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I too have a complaint about police repression outside the building, but it relates to Members of this House and not to dock workers. I arrived from Basle in the bus, with a number of colleagues from various countries, to find the gates barred. There was no immediate security problem, there were no demonstrators in sight, but the French police refused us admittance to the building. When I sought to exert my right as a parliamentarian to enter the building, I was physically prevented from doing so and a rather unedifying shoving and shouting match took place. It is my understanding that for police from a Member State to obstruct parliamentarians in the course of carrying out their duties is contrary to the Treaties. It is certainly an affront to the dignity of this House. I should be grateful, therefore, if you would contact the appropriate authorities and make sure, firstly, that nothing like this ever happens again and, secondly, that the French police concerned are given appropriate retraining in the rights and responsibilities of parliamentarians."@en1
