lpv:translated text	". Following the commitment made on 3 June 2005 by representatives of the Member States and the Council regarding the Statute for Members of the European Parliament, plenary amended its decision of 4 June 2003, and called for the creation of a monthly parliamentary salary, set at a flat rate for all Members regardless of the country they represent. The salary will, in current terms, come to around EUR 7 000 per month, which is around twice the amount earned by members of the Portuguese Parliament. This would widen the gap between the Members of the European Parliament and politicians in the Member States, when in fact their work and their day-to-day functions are similar, and this is something to which we are opposed. This decision has undergone one or two amendments, which we welcome, not least the call for greater transparency in reimbursement of travel expenses, indicating that the payment will be based on actual expenses. Members of the European Parliament are elected nationally and are – and must continue to be – accountable to their national electorates. We are opposed to the federalist concept of the mandate of Members of Parliament, as it overlooks the differing social realities in EU Member States – in terms of workers’ salaries, for example – and consequently widens the gap between the politicians and the people that they represent."@en1
