– (IT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance have never had much time for the great parliamentary reforms carried out by Mr Corbett – he is a friend of mine and we have worked together for many years, he is aware of this and he will not hold it against me – because they tend to turn our Parliament into a bureaucratic machine where the role of individual MEPs and minority groups and even the committees must be subject to the growing, partly arbitrary, decisionmaking power of the Conference of Presidents and the administration.
– (IT) Monsieur le Président, Mesdames et Messieurs, le groupes des Verts/Alliance libre européenne n’a jamais consacré beaucoup de temps aux grandes réformes parlementaires menées par M. Corbett, qui est un ami et avec lequel nous travaillons depuis plusieurs années.
