European Parliament
President.
We are not going to agree, Mr Posselt, because I stand by my original interpretation of Rule 145. However, I am happy to send this to the Committee on Constitutional Affairs for its interpretation. Rule 145 makes it very clear, however, that at any time during a debate the list of speakers may be closed. We had a proposal from the floor that the President then adopted in his own name and put before the House. The House then voted in accordance with Rule 145.
I am not going to debate this with you, Mr Posselt, because I want to go for lunch, and I am not going to agree with you. As I said, I shall refer the matter to the Committee on Constitutional Affairs.
