European Parliament
Bourlanges (ALDE ),
draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs.
(FR)
Mr President, as chairman of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, I should simply like to provide some information. I am therefore expressing an opinion neither in favour nor against, although I personally am in agreement with the rapporteur. I wanted to point out that, if we were not to vote in favour of this report today, the Council would note Parliament’s lack of competence and would quite simply take the decision itself. Believing as I do that this is of relevance to the House, I was keen to point this out.
