"Mr President, I should like to protest at the way in which Members of the European Parliament are treated like mechanical voting robots. The speed at which some votes are conducted is an insult to human dignity and a denial of human nature, given that the latter imposes tight restrictions on the reaction times of the nervous and sensory systems. Similarly, programmes of work for the individual committees are made available with so little time to spare before meetings that it is physically impossible to study them or even to familiarise oneself with individual items, particularly because translations appear quite literally at the last minute, especially those from Polish. The Polish people experienced at first hand the disastrous attempts to create a Soviet being, and changes to human nature undertaken as part of the creation of a European economic being are also nothing but pathological discrimination. This discrimination denies human dignity, rational expediency and common sense, and it results in disrespect for human beings. We are therefore opposed to efforts to turn this Parliament into a mere sham, where democracy is only nominally present.
