Talk:Hans-Gert Pöttering

Pic?
Have we got a pic of this man? It would vastly improve the article and would make for a far better picture than that eyesore we have now...  Dooms Day349  04:06, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

"Grand Order of Merit" Why isn't this called the Federal Cross of merit or the Bundesverdienstkreuz? It could then be linked to that aticle also87.234.85.172 15:02, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Qualificated
This edit led to speculation in Tony Barber's Financial Times BrusselsBlog  of deliberate promotion of Pöttering’s candidacy on Wikipedia.--Rumping (talk) 09:33, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

75 % of national law figure
In the youtube video cited as a source, Pöttering is in fact talking about the European Parliament´s participation in 75 % of EU legislation, a figure which would increase to 100 % participation under the Lisbon treaty. There is no mention of the EU passing 100 % of national law. The Subtitles in the video are misleading. The source, apparently uploaded by the eurosceptic UKIP party, is not reliable. The passage in the article should be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.153.68.6 (talk) 11:49, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
