lpv:translated text	"The June List is of the opinion that discharge should not be granted to the President for the 2004 financial year. There are two main reasons for this. The first of these is that we believe the leadership of the European Parliament is just as responsible as the city of Strasbourg for the fact that, for years, too much rent has been paid for the premises in Strasbourg. This has cost EU taxpayers large amounts of money, and Parliament should, in this case, take a strong line to ensure that the excess rent is repaid. Since, as things stand, there is still a lack of information as regards the size of the excess payments (see paragraph 19 dash five of the draft report), we also believe that we have still not got to the bottom of this matter. The second reason is that we believe that the European Parliament as an institution should not be made responsible for the shortfall in the MEPs’ additional pension scheme. The pension rights accruing to MEPs must be linked to the investment performance of their pension fund. That is how it works for ordinary citizens throughout the EU, and MEPs ought not to be given a special luxury perk in this respect."@en1
