lpv:translated text	". Mr President, the question from the Committee on Legal Affairs is appropriate since relations between lawyers and notaries, and the legal professions in general — as Mr Lehne has said — and their clients must be given special consideration. The European Commission must not deal with these cases as if they were a question of a mere business relationship between client and service provider. The relationship between a solicitor or notary and their client affects the administration of justice, a sensitive issue in terms of democracy, as Mr Lehne has also pointed out. The work of the professional associations of legal professions in the different countries is very beneficial to relations, not just corporate relations, but also those in defence of the public interest. The judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Communities, which Mrs Kroes is so keen to see, has so far recognised that systems such as the Spanish system conform to European legislation, whose fee rates are merely guidelines, rather than minimums, which help the judicial administration to set costs, which is ultimately always controlled judicially. Neither should the opposition of many lawyers from many countries to the pact be questioned. This pact violates the dignity of work and shows a lack of consideration and respect for the profession. The prohibition of the pact has also been accepted by the national courts, Mrs Kroes. I would call upon the European Commission to respect the work of institutions which, like the colleges of lawyers and notaries, have generally speaking been working well for more than two centuries, despite the ups and downs and interruptions of history. Do not forget that constitutions, such as the Spanish Constitution, recognise the essential role of professional associations and the fundamental work they do. The European Commission should be loyal to the European tradition, and not to the newer United States tradition. We must support small legal practices. Do not make any mistakes."@en1
