European Parliament

It should be noted that the European Parliament is an institution representing the citizens of the Member States. Elected MEPs work in accordance with the free mandate principle, which is a fundamental law of parliamentary democracy. Consequently, the right to own-initiative reports should not be restricted. Furthermore, I do not believe that it is appropriate to only apply the split vote and the roll-call vote to motions for resolutions and amendments thereto, and roll-call votes just once during the final vote on alternative motions for resolutions.
