"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, first of all I acknowledge the proposal made by Mr Verhofstadt, which is perfectly reasonable in my view, and I am sure that if Parliament were to invite the Italian Prime Minister to any meeting that it might arrange, the Italian Government would make every effort to explain what action it is taking, as tomorrow’s visit by Prime Minister Berlusconi to the European institutions in fact shows.
I am however surprised, I must admit, by the threatening tone adopted by Ms Harms: let us remember that, whether people like him or not, Silvio Berlusconi is the Prime Minister of a country located in Europe, and it is in Europe because of its history and its love of democracy! Let us remember, too, that it is not the job of the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance to decide who should meet the President of the European Parliament! It is not the job of the Group of the Greens to lecture people on democracy in this House!
I would therefore ask Ms Harms to be more measured and to remember that, as part of his visit to the European institutions tomorrow, Prime Minister Berlusconi has every right to request a meeting with the President of the European Parliament also."@en1
