European Parliament
Queiró (PPE-DE ),
in writing
(PT)
A key element in the running of a representative democratic institution is compliance with the principles governing – appropriately – the rules of parliamentary immunity. Consequently, the decision to waive the parliamentary immunity of a Member of this House must be greeted with due caution.
The case before us concerns the judicial process relating to behaviour that bears no relation to political activity. Accordingly, and given the content of the report, I voted in favour.
