lpv:translated text	"The budgetary orientations of our institution for the year 2009 represent the document based on which the budget of the European Parliament will be established this autumn. Nevertheless, beyond the amounts and programmes, this year’s budgetary orientations bring to discussion an issue I consider very important: the legal situation of the European Parliament assistants. I would like to thank Mr Lewandowski for having approached this subject as well. I believe the time has come for the old system to become clearer and more transparent and to provide these young people with social and fiscal rights equal to the rights of the other members of the institution’s staff. For the latter, there are the Staff Regulations of the European Communities, a very comprehensive document, which provides the staff working in the European Union institutions with adequate social protection. Most of the parliamentary assistants are also foreign citizens in relation to the country where they carry out their activity and, consequently, they should enjoy the protection provided to all workers in international organizations. I don’t think it is normal to have cases in which the Belgian state imposes additional tax liabilities on assistants, taking into account that they pay all due taxes and contributions to social insurances in their country of nationality. Still, the Parliament needs clear regulations for assistants as regards situations such as disease or maternity as well. In several resolutions, the European Parliament has already requested the Secretary General and the working group on the Members’ Statute and Assistants and Pension Fund to draw up a new set of rules that would solve the problems the assistants are currently dealing with. I believe it is our responsibility toward the European citizens to have only clear and transparent rules in this institution."@en1
