European Parliament
Hernández Mollar (PPE-DE ),
chairman of the Committee on Citizens’ Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs
(ES)
Mr President, I would repeat what I said before: there is nothing incompatible about, on the one hand, our having voted as we did this morning in relation to the preliminary ruling of the Court of Justice and, on the other, having to give our opinion on the legislative proposal and the resolution. I will repeat: it is the resolution that calls for the agreement to be suspended. We therefore have this legitimate right in this House and the political groups would be deprived of it if we were prevented from voting on the proposal and the resolution.
I would therefore insist once again, Mr President, that this report must not be referred back to committee, but that it should be voted on as planned, for the reasons I have just given, which I believe to be conclusive.
