European Parliament
President.
Mr Poettering, we had a full debate on this issue yesterday. I do not intend to allow another wide-ranging discussion. In terms of the substance of your remark, I would remind you that the President put an alternative proposal to the House that would have allowed amendments to be voted on, and that was defeated by the House. Consequently I am in a position today where we have a ruling from the President and a vote by this House on how we are going to conduct the voting on the Boogerd-Quaak report. I do not intend to vary from that, so no matter how many points of order are made, we will stick to that position.
