"Mr President, it is the comments of my esteemed colleague, Mrs Ludford, that cause me too to request the floor. I entirely agree with her that we face a very unpleasant situation in which we are in danger of seeing the forthcoming elections to the European Parliament characterised by a fear of foreigners and a hostility towards them.
I therefore wish to propose perhaps attempting to take action at this early stage. I am not normally one to propose new expenditure, nor am I normally one to propose that Parliament print glossy brochures extolling its own virtues, but I should like to make an exception in this case. Kofi Annan made an outstanding speech to us recently, and I would ask that this speech be printed, that it be printed in all the languages and that it be published in a presentable edition so that we can use it in the election campaign.
I think he made a fantastic contribution to this debate and issued an extremely necessary challenge to all the European peoples. Nearly everybody clapped – for the speech at least. That, then, is what I would call for.
