I was a Member of this Parliament in 1993.

I declare adjourned the session of the European Par liament.

I care about the reputation of this Parliament.

At that time, I was a Member of the European Parliament.

Outside these walls, people often think that we are not a real parliament, but I have found a true parliament here.

Parliament expressed a different view.

(The sitting was suspended at 12 noon)

We have cooperated successfully for decades, and in the last few years there have been two famines, whereas previously there had been none for many years.

for human rights and so on. Everyone knows my record.

Thus, I would even venture to request Parliament's help.

That is why I wanted to spare Parliament this discussion.

I should like to address the President of this Parliament.

I can well understand Parliament's various wishes. I would wish the same, were I a Member of the European Parliament.

My Vietnamese god children and African friends often tell me so.

'I, on the other hand, am a simple Member of the European Parliament.

One day in Parliament, I was listening to Pierre.

I do not therefore see the coming period, with a large population of old people, as a threat but far more as a time of fresh opportunities, more opportunities for reflection, more opportunities for contemplation, more opportunities for stability in a society that is changing so fast.

So for the first time, I got invited to speak at the National Parliament.

I hate insincere organisations like UN and the European Parliament.

I hate insincere organisations like UN and the European Parliament.

We had yet another example of that at our last committee

In general terms, we are satisfied with the progress which has been made.

I am of course a fierce opponent of the extreme right here in Parliament.

I know what the Parliament is because you have become a Member of it.

I think we will have to go on debating it in Parliament.

I'm not one, and nor are my fellow MEPs!

Many of you will, I hope, take your places in the next European Parliament.

Neither the language of the Parliament nor its mode of communication with citizens who wish to refer matters to it is compatible with the methods employed by the police.

To those of us such as I who come from a very old parliament, this European Parliament will always look young.

Mr Pflimlin, President of the European Par liament

The misunderstanding has mainly to do with the scope of this directive.

This is unworthy of a Parliament, and I have to tell you I have been in politics for 30 years, and I feel my leg is being pulled.

The House has certain other priorities, to which I should now like to draw attention.

I must add that I am still waiting for the European Parliament' s opinion on this matter.

You will be aware that I am that MEP.

This would imply that if this principle is applied, it would be at the grave risk of mistakes in the calculation of these costs.

In this document there is not one word to indicate that we can accept.

But it cannot be done the other way round.

I am address ing these words to the left of this House.

I said that the vote could have .altered Parliament's previous position.

The Commission proposal was rejected by one vote, I think, in Parliament.

No one is more committed to institutional reform in this Parliament than I am.

Now then, I cannot understand this Parliament for complaining about the Council's behaviour.

I knew, Mr President, that I would find an ally in the European Parliament.

Some people have already referred to this and I was Parliament's rapporteur.
