"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, naturally it is possible to revise constitutions, media laws, Schengen rules and many other things. However there are rules. If the suspicion exists that existing laws and the values of the European Union are being violated, then this is something that must be pursued, whether in Hungary and Romania, or in France or Denmark, or any other country that could give cause for concern.
I wonder, however, not just in view of the present debate, whether all those involved are really concerned with an objective clarification of events, or whether they are not more interested in party political mud-slinging or scoring party political points through sound-bites. This will not help us win back the confidence of our citizens. We need to arrange for an objective investigation to be carried out, using the same yardstick for all Member States, rather than different standards depending on whether we are located in the north, south, east or west of the European Union. If we consider the issue at the heart of these matters rather than relying on rumours and newspaper reports, then this discussion will have added value for the people of Hungary, Romania, France and Germany, and everyone else."@en1
