". Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to point out that immunity, over and above safeguarding the parliamentary symbol, safeguards Parliament and the parliamentary function within it. I would therefore not make such a personal case of it. As regards Mr Marchiani, however, I am genuinely appalled by the ruling of the French Court of Cassation, which completely repudiates the Protocol of 1965 on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Community, stating that the rules on the issue that apply to Members of the European Parliament are not the same as those that apply to members of national parliaments. As that was a patent example of a failure to apply the law, the Committee on Legal Affairs instead upheld the legitimacy of applying the rules of the Protocol on Privileges and Immunities, in accordance with which the same procedures that are applicable to members of national parliaments apply to Members of the European Parliament. It was on that basis that the report that I recommend to this plenary session was drafted."@en1
