lpv:translated text	"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, when building a Europe of rights, an essential part is played by freedom of information, pluralism of information and independence of information. Is the Commissioner aware that there is one country in the European Union – which is incidentally a founder member of the European Union under the Treaty of Rome – where there is no media pluralism, where a prime minister directly or indirectly controls the public and private TV and print media? What democratic electoral competition can exist in a country where a prime minister – a political party – controls the media? What democracy can exist in a country where a law that bans journalists from publishing judicial news is about to be approved in a matter of days? Forget about Watergate and the press upholding a regime! We are talking lapdogs here! What sort of democratic country wants to control the Internet? What sort of democratic country sidelines anyone who strays from the party line and fails to guarantee free speech and the right to dissent? We are not describing Sudan under Bokassa or Romania under Ceauşescu: this is Italy under Berlusconi, where such things are unfortunately allowed to happen, not least because the European Commission does not have the courage to adopt an independent and free stance with regard to the Member States."@en1
