lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like, if I may, to make some comments that have been inspired by this report. My first comment is that this report deals with a serious matter. Firstly because the charges are serious, and secondly because this relates to the freedom of individuals and the freedom of Members of Parliament. I have four comments to make on this report. First of all, a debate is clearly taking place on the purpose of parliamentary immunity – something that the general public do not understand and which is perceived as a privilege, even though it should not be a privilege. I think that this debate must be held especially since the general public does not understand the issue and that the charges are particularly serious and particularly significant. Having said this and be that as it may, under the Rule of Law, the procedure must be strictly observed and we must ensure that these matters are considered in law and that procedures are strictly observed. My third comment is that the media coverage of these procedures is not compatible with an impartial justice system and the requirements of an impartial justice system. My final comment is that the Europe of human rights is obviously not yet in place, that there is no in France, although a great deal of progress has been made, particularly as a result of the support given by Mr Jospin’s government to the issue of the presumption of innocence. Nevertheless, with 125 suicides committed each year in prison, France may have abolished the death penalty but it has not yet eliminated it altogether."@en1
