Given the need to alter the composition of the European Parliament due to past and future enlargements, I believe that the solution adopted in this report has the virtues of being consistent with what has already been agreed (Nice), of not increasing the control of the most populous states over the others, by maintaining a model of balance between states which is quite understandable, and of helping to reduce the difficulties associated with the adoption of the Reform Treaty.
Therefore, despite having preferred, as apparent from the voting, a model based on the concept of citizenship and not residence – given that the link between citizens and the European Union must be one of citizenship and not residence – I voted in favour of this report."@en1
