lpv:translated text	"Mr President, as you know, if something is exaggerated, it is worth nothing. That is why I will not respond to those fellow Members who have spoken about what I accept is a very controversial subject, but without the necessary seriousness and objectivity and, unfortunately, by engaging in poor-taste populism – especially on the part of the Greens – or by talking about the wrong topic, as some Non-attached Members are doing. We have to get used to the situation. At a time when crude prices are soaring, it is not good enough to say that on top of that we need to increase taxes, which already represent up to two-thirds of pump prices. Do you want to be complicit in the message that the European Parliament would now be sending to our citizens and our industries – that fuel prices, especially diesel prices, would have to sky-rocket? You will live up to your responsibilities tomorrow; we will see that. For my part, I am convinced that the European Parliament will send the right signal to the Member States. I would like to tell Mr Lambsdorff that I am happy he has recognised that it is important that the German Social Democrats – not just the Members for North Rhine-Westphalia – should stand up for what they believe and listen to the Industrial Union of Metalworkers (IG-Metall) and its works councils. This will put you on track. I would like to make a correction regarding Mr Giegold’s contribution. What he said is incorrect. Germany cannot increase the price of diesel. If proportionality is to apply, then Germany, irrespective of how high its taxes are, must tax diesel at 9% higher than petrol. I needed to correct this. Tomorrow, we shall see how the House views the issue."@en1
