lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it is certain that had dear Mr Brok heard the last lecture of Chomsky, the greatest living philosopher, he would have written a different report. Chomsky said that the United States of America is dying from a lack of democracy and there is indeed a lack of democracy and intercourse. Allow me to prove it to you. Any American citizen can come to anywhere in Europe without a visa. Can any European citizen go to America without a visa? Let me reply by reminding you that, when MEPs went to America to check CIA flights, American congressmen did not receive them. America has not signed the Kyoto Protocol and is poisoning the atmosphere. It does not come under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court in The Hague; it merely sends judges. I ultimately refuse to accept Europe as the train whose steam engine is American and which has an American engine driver. That is our big mistake. We want a relationship on equal terms. They do not allow us to have a European army. We have ΝΑΤΟ with an American commander-in-chief. Even our stock exchanges follow the Dow Jones index. We do not have our own policy. We have American hegemony. We want a relationship on equal terms, not the suzerainty of the Americans, which is harming Europe's progress towards more democracy."@en1
