lpv:translated text	". Mr Rothley is a remarkable kind of Social Democrat. He always does the opposite of what you would expect a member of his group to do. In June, his major achievement was that he provided for a considerably higher salary for all MEPs other than the already excessively paid Germans and Italians. Years previous to that, he had claimed that his intention in doing this was to enhance Parliament's dignity. Now, as rapporteur, he is proposing in his Amendment No 15 to exclude pedestrians and cyclists from bodily injury cover in the drivers' legal liability insurance, irrespective of whether the driver is at fault. His motive is now that this concerns a delicate and very controversial problem, one that is better regulated in a separate legal instrument. If this separate legal instrument were to come into being at the same time as this directive, then there would be nothing wrong with his argument. However, Mr Rothley knows very well that this House has no right of initiative. If we were to reject this component, we would need to wait and see whether the Commission were ever to table this separate proposal. If this proposal were to be tabled, Mr Rothley anticipates possible further problems. In that way, the weakest party is put at a disadvantage. That is why I reject this proposal."@en1
