European Parliament
A6-0409/2005
Evelyne Gebhardt (PSE ),
rapporteur
(DE)
Mr President, before we and the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats embarked on this revision, we got the Legal Services to examine very carefully whether this was in conformity with the House’s Rules of Procedure. The relevant departments of this House assured us that it was, and so it was in this form that we introduced it. The point I want to make to Mrs Frassoni is that this was considered carefully beforehand. It would appear to be the case that we can go down this road, and so we should now proceed to the vote.
(Vigorous applause)
