". Mr President, honourable Members, let me repeat that the Commission has received official complaints only in respect of one single Member State. The Commission cannot take action on the basis of having picked up this or that here or there; if it is to act, a formal complaint has to be made. Every Member of this House is familiar with the rules. To those honourable Members who have, today, spoken of hundreds of cases of discrimination, the only thing I can say is that they should advise those who believe themselves to have been discriminated against to submit a formal complaint. The Commission will follow up every single case, as it is obliged to do so. I really would ask you not to throw accusations at me to the effect that the Commission has not considered any complaints other than those against this one Member State. I ask you not to doubt the truth of what I am telling you. If I tell you that we have received complaints directed only at one country, then that is indeed the case. See to it, then, that those who believe they have been discriminated against go down the appropriate channels, and then action will be taken. The Commission has already taken the necessary action to deal with the Member State in respect of which a complaint has been made. I did not say that we would do something; we already have, and the upshot of that is that these problems are being resolved."@en1
