lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the aims behind the proposed reform are all worth supporting. I support all the aims mentioned in this debate by those who are in favour of this reform. Nevertheless, I am sceptical about transnational lists. From the perspective of a citizen of a small Member State, the reform looks like greater influence on the part of the big Member States. If transnational lists are open – if voters can freely elect someone on them – in practice, only candidates from the largest Member States will be elected. If, moreover, the European parties put up candidates in order, once again the Members from the biggest Member States in each party will have the greatest influence, and this will repeat itself from party to party. It is very important to find ways to engage in European political and public debate, but I earnestly hope that we will find better remedies than transnational lists, which, at least in my country, will only serve to increase opposition to the EU."@en1
