President.
– I should point out that if I interpreted the vote correctly, we have removed the session that had been proposed for the end of April and 1 May 2004. I should also like to recall that on 1 May, the states for which we just voted shall enter the Union. Parliament will need, as some point, to ratify the nominated commissioners. I shall have to take this back to the Conference of Presidents because we cannot ignore our constitutional obligations as a House.
(Applause)
