European Parliament
Alavanos (GUE/NGL ),
in writing
(EL)
I voted in favour of the Rothley report, despite the fact that the amendments proposed by the GUE/NGL, Greens and Liberals were rejected yesterday, for the reasons mentioned by President Cox. It is one naturally inadequate, step towards transparency and the settlement of an issue which insults the European Parliament. The amendment proposed by the Socialist group to delete paragraph 5 referring to the Bureau's decision on travel expenses etc. throws up questions about the real intentions of the European Parliament and confusion at the very least.
