lpv:translated text	"It is unacceptable for the EU now to attempt to bind all its Member States to a third party in an international treaty. The whole idea of the United Nations Convention against Corruption is one based on voluntary participation and respect for the national right of self-determination. The rapporteur, Mr Catania, has chosen to cite 26 assorted articles in his report as support for the proposal. None of these articles accord the EU the power or competence to enter into a legally binding treaty with a third party. The EU should instead focus on the widespread corruption within its own institutions. Internal corruption within the EU is a growing problem that is in the process of eroding citizens’ trust in the whole European idea. The June List believes that the EU is exceeding its powers and is therefore voting against the proposal as a whole."@en1
