lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the rapporteur is dreaming of a uniform electoral system with transnational lists and, for that, he requires European parties. Funds from European taxpayers are deployed to accelerate and facilitate the setting up of such parties. This makes those parties particularly artificial. The is not the common goals and activities of the associated members, but the need for a state administration at European level. My party, the Dutch Socialist Party, is quite happy to work with like-minded Left Socialists in other countries, provided it can do this from the bottom up instead of from the top down. In our opinion, these arrangements are not the right way forward. In fact, our objection would be much greater if, modelled on the German system, party structures and the drafting of lists of candidates were prescribed in detail, or if a distinction were drawn between parties which support a Europe that is governed in a centralist and uniform manner and those opposed to this, between centrally organised parties of individuals and loose associations of cooperating national parties or between large and small political movements. I am pleased to note that this proposal is now confined to a financing scheme and the monitoring of inappropriate use."@en1
