  Jan Zahradil (PPE-DE). – (CS) Mr President, I am glad that what we have always been saying here has proved to be true: no one has infringed obligations arising from their agreements, EU legislation or the competences of the Union, and bilateral negotiations can take place alongside multilateral or pan-European negotiations. Ladies and gentlemen, I resent that my country, the Czech Republic, is accused of a lack of solidarity and transparency. This is entirely untrue. We fulfil the obligations arising from our agreements, Community legislation and the principle of subsidiarity, accurately and exactly as necessary; no more, no less. I would also like to ask some of my fellow Members not to lecture about Europeanism. We are all equal Europeans: there are no greater or lesser Europeans.
