lpv:translated text	"Mr President, our aim today is to remove all those rules that make our work ridiculous. We must also appreciate the work done by our President to improve Parliament’s reputation. Ladies and gentlemen, I therefore appeal to you not now to permit the use of legal quibbles, hair-splitting and primary laws to prevent what in this case is most important, namely that everyone who votes in the European election in 2004 should do so with pride and that our work should be easy to understand and our rules transparent. That is what is most important. Even though we all believe there are details that are not quite perfect, we must adopt a global perspective and take the opportunity that now exists and that many previous speakers have said will not perhaps be there again. A vessel runs aground if its crew has a false perception of the seabed. I am afraid that many people have a wrong idea of what is possible. We must use a proper map, a genuine maritime-style map. The correct way forward in this case is to approve the liberals’ and others’ amendments. That is the right course to follow."@en1
