The new amendments to the European Parliament's Rules of Procedure relating to standards for the conduct of Members of the European Parliament is an attempt, in the name of the smooth functioning of Parliament, to use policing and sanctions in order to restrict and control the expression of reaction, protest or disagreement and terrorise those Members who wish to express their opposition to the anti-grass roots policy of the ΕU, to aspects of it or to serious political events. The new autocratic measures make provision for financial penalties, exclusion from meetings and institutions, even a proposal to be removed from parliamentary office. In this way, they are attempting to restrict any reactions with placards, pickets and so on, noting 'daintily’ that they are not tolerable if they create 'clashes' or disrupt parliamentary business. Similar threats and sanctions are provided for in cases where provisions are infringed governing confidentiality relating to 'closed meetings' and the publication of documents which, it should be noted, often circulate on the media.
We are voting against the new autocratic amendments and declare that we shall not be disciplined and shall try in every way to project the problems of the working classes and inform the people to whom we give account."@en1
