European Parliament
Gay Mitchell  (PPE ).
– Mr President, I understand that the discussions on this are ongoing in COREPER and in the Council and that there is no agreement between the Council and Parliament on this matter yet. As some of these issues are contentious, the four Fine Gael MEPs in the EPP abstained on both the roll-call votes because it is not clear how these contentious matters are to be resolved. I wish that to be a matter of record.
