purportA Europe that tolerates any kind of discrimination cannot purport to be an example to anyone. Uma Europa que tolere qualquer tipo de discriminação não pode pretender ser um exemplo para ninguém. Mr President, that is my point: it should not purport to be an official magazine and should not carry the masthead or purport to represent the views of this House. Senhor Presidente, é aí que está a questão: a revista não devia pretender ser uma publicação de carácter oficial intitulando-se como se intitula e alegando representar as opiniões desta assembleia.One reason was that the resolution purported to give authority to the European Union and its functionaries to speak and act on behalf of Member States. Uma das razões foi o facto de a resolução pretender autorizar a União Europeia e os seus funcionários a falarem e agirem em nome dos Estados-Membros.
