• Nous ne pouvons pas imaginer que, pour que les marchés fonctionnent bien, la règle de la transparence soit la règle essentielle et nous, les législateurs, refuser de nous l'appliquer, alors même que nous savons très bien que, dans notre processus législatif même - et je dis cela à destination du précédent orateur - nos relations avec des interlocuteurs extérieurs, qu'il s'agisse de groupes de pression mais aussi de sectes - je dis ça pour M. Friedrich - sont absolument déterminantes dans notre processus législatif original européen.

  It is impossible to imagine the markets functioning properly with transparency being anything other than the fundamental rule. We, the legislators, must apply that rule to ourselves, particularly as we know all too well that in our legislative process - and I say this to the previous speaker - our relations with external representatives, be they pressure groups or religious organisations - and that is directed at Mr Friedrich - play a decisive role in our European legislative process.
