lpv:translated text	"This Parliament really does pull out all the stops to reinforce the image of the Eurocracy, as a kind of totalitarian doctrine that no longer tolerates any opposition. This time it is about the drastic curtailment of the right of Members of Parliament to address questions to the Commission. Apparently the Commission, that giant with its 10 000 civil servants who interfere with all kinds of things, with far too much, is said to be complaining loudly about the workload that those parliamentary questions bring. In God’s name, what arrogance on the part of an institution like the Commission, which is revealing its evident disdain for any form of democratic control by scarcely answering parliamentary questions, usually answering them completely inadequately and always being wide of the point. The fact that Parliament goes crawling before the potentates of the Eurocracy is simply shameful!"@en1
