European Parliament

Mr President, Article 12 proposes to call for a NEC (National Electoral Commission) meeting to be included on the agenda, as the representative of the Commission stated. I do not believe this would be appropriate. Since Laos is not a member of this Parliament, we could instead ask for the ASEAN assembly to be informed. This is not exactly ASEAN’s role, but at least Laos is a member of that body and we could take this matter to ASEAN, if the House agrees.
Furthermore, the original text contains a mistake, Mr President. It talks about ‘the American journalist’. It should instead say ‘the American interpreter’, since that is what he was.
