"That will be a matter for the Conference of Presidents to decide. Thank you for drawing attention to this. As for the first matter which was raised, the information I have received indicates that Mr Berlusconi is not making an official visit to the European Parliament. I do not have any information about an official visit of Mr Berlusconi to the European Parliament. I can assure you of this in all seriousness. Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to move on to the next piece of information. Tomorrow we will welcome the President of the Republic of Poland, Mr Bronisław Komorowski, to the European Parliament. Poland currently holds the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. Mr Komorowski will give an address at a formal sitting at 12.00. Thursday 15 September is the United Nations’ International Day of Democracy. To ensure that democracy is not endangered, it needs to be permanently protected, cared for and promoted around the world. This is one of the main objectives of the work of the European Parliament, the most democratic of the EU’s institutions. I will read the following information in English. I strongly condemn the violence organised on 2 July against our colleague, Sajjad Karim MEP, in the United Kingdom. His private house was attacked by around 30 protestors from an extremist organisation. They entered his property carrying anti-Islamic placards, while shouting at him and filming his house. Mr Karim was at home with his wife and children when this happened. We must at all times be very clear and always strongly condemn such incidents, especially when they are hate crimes. Such threats to the freedom of speech of individual Members of Parliament are unacceptable. Mr Karim has been given a mandate in a democratic election by British citizens. Any attack on him and on his family is an attack on democracy and against his electorate. All necessary steps should be taken in order to protect Mr Karim in exercising his duties and enable him to enjoy freedom of speech and freedom of expression without being threatened, and to do his political work as a democratically elected representative. Having expressed my support for our colleague in a letter I wrote to Prime Minister Cameron, today I publicly reaffirm my full support for you, Mr Karim, and for all victims of discrimination. This Parliament stands beside you in defence of our common values. I met our colleague Mr Karim personally a few weeks ago, before the holidays."@en1
