I am surprised at the eagerness with which Social Democrats and Greens are tabling amendments aimed at getting the Member States to accept the Members’ Statute at this stage, without indicating that the salaries mentioned in the statute are excessive. Similarly, I certainly do not support the use of Parliament’ s funds to secure funding for European political groups – the object being to sidestep the Commission's objections.
