Mr President, despite the worst possible timing for handling this persistent problem that has been around for years and years about a uniform Members’ Statute, I took part in the vote and pressed the ‘plus button’. I voted in favour, not because I think this is such a wonderful Statute, for it is not. The degree of uniformity is not sufficient for starters. From all the times, though, that we have voted in Parliament and had to establish subsequently that the Council was incapable of reaching agreement, I have learnt that the communality we seek is not feasible and that there is no such thing as an ‘ideal’ Statute. The Statute proposed by the Committee on Legal Affairs, which apparently received the stamp of approval from the Council, is better than what we have at the moment in the sense that it provides the necessary transparency and that it gives us the only acceptable travel expense scheme, namely one that reimburses only expenses actually incurred. I am convinced that this alone is reason enough to vote in favour, even if this is done at the wrong time."@en1
