I voted to approve the Accession Treaties only under protest and out of solidarity with my future colleagues.
Despite the Commission's warnings and reproaches during the course of the negotiations, the Council has insisted on committing what is without doubt a breach of the law.
The Council's controversial retention of Annex XV in the Accession Treaty and consequent wholly unilateral alteration of the 2004-2006 financial framework amounts to a breach of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999 between the European Parliament and the Council.
By doing this, it has trodden Parliament's budgetary rights underfoot. At the same time, it has forced upon Parliament the choice between fighting for its rights and approving the enlargement treaties. Such behaviour by the Council puts an end to our loyal cooperation with it."@en | 10 |

La ratificación del Tratado de Marrakech es un paso esencial para garantizar que casi 30 millones de personas ciegas, con discapacidad visual o con otras dificultades puedan acceder al texto impreso y tengan garantizado el acceso a la cultura. Se estima que menos del 5% de los libros publicados en Europa están disponibles en formato accesible para personas ciegas o deficientes visuales, además los libros disponibles no pueden compartirse a ambos lados de las fronteras en Europa y en el resto del mundo donde menos del 1% de los libros publicados están disponibles para personas ciegas o deficientes visuales. Una carencia que priva además a estas personas del acceso a la literatura en su lengua materna y extranjera y limita su derecho a la educación, la información y la participación social."@en | 8 |
| "The June Movement opposes the EU’s massive agricultural aid, which discriminates against the developing countries, the new EU countries, the environment and ecological interests.
The consumer pays twice: he or she pays via tax for the aid and then pays the artificially high prices for everyday goods.
Even if extensive farming and ecological interests were to go and be given slightly better conditions, it would still be unfair to third countries, the new EU countries and EU citizens.
The June Movement wishes to see the aid completely done away with and is unable to support a redistribution of the aid whereby new areas are brought under the umbrella of aid arrangements of one kind or another.
The June Movement believes that the only real way to abolish discrimination is by creating equal conditions through cutting back on agricultural aid with a view to phasing it out entirely."@en | 8 |

| "Hemos votado a favor de este informe porque aborda un tema muy relevante, acrecentado por las políticas de austeridad aplicadas en los últimos años, como es la pobreza y perspectiva de género. El informe hace menciones a las causas de la pobreza, precariedad y exclusión social de las mujeres. Las mujeres siguen estando más afectadas que los hombres por la crisis económica y están más expuesta a la posibilidad de sufrir exclusión social, siendo los índices de pobreza significativamente más elevados en los casos de las mujeres. La brecha salarial y de las pensiones, el techo de cristal, la falta de políticas para la conciliación, así como la inexistencia de permisos parentales iguales e intransferibles son algunos de los motivos de dicha desigualdad. Este informe contiene varios aspectos que hacen determinante nuestro voto a favor, como la necesidad de garantizar los servicios públicos, educación y seguridad social para luchar contra la pobreza, la necesidad de promover la conciliación para evitar los contratos precarios y "atípicos", la defensa de la independencia económica de las mujeres luchando por la igualdad en los salarios y pensiones, reforzar los permisos por maternidad y paternidad y la lucha contra la violencia de género."@en | 5 |

Considera que la sobrerregulación es problemática, e insta a la Comisión a garantizar la plena aplicación de la legislación de la UE sobre el mercado único y para asegurar las reformas estructurales en los Estados miembros. El informe contiene también una serie de medidas equilibradas y de protección de derechos. Esta es la razón por la que proponemos abstenernos en el voto final."@en | 5 |

Se trata de una propuesta de enmienda a una decisión del Consejo adoptada en 2015, que establece medidas provisionales en beneficio de los Estados miembros que se encuentren en una situación de emergencia caracterizada por una llegada masiva de nacionales de terceros países en uno o más países miembros, también conocido como “temporary relocation scheme”. Esta enmienda al esquema de reubicación fue presentada por la Comisión en diciembre, siguiendo el requerimiento del Gobierno sueco para beneficiarse de ese esquema de reubicación. La petición original del Gobierno sueco en noviembre, era beneficiarse de este mecanismo como Grecia e Italia. Sin embargo, esta petición fue rechazada por la Comisión, que por el contrario, estuvo de acuerdo con la suspensión de un año para la "obligación" de reubicar a aquellos que aplicaban a Suecia (1369 personas)."@en | 4 |

I did not sign the draft joint resolution, tabled by several political groups, on a global moratorium on the death penalty, nor do I intend to vote in its favour.
I fully endorse the undertakings Poland entered into under international law on joining the Council of Europe and the European Union, but I do not consider that the abolition of the death penalty in other parts of the world is a solution to the problem of violence and brutality.
I believe it is right to condemn the abuse of capital punishment and its barbaric implementation, as was the case at the execution of Saddam Hussein and of Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti.
Nonetheless, the total abolition of the death penalty for criminals, terrorists and bloodthirsty dictators in the most unstable and violent parts of the world is an irresponsible, nonsensical and harmful proposal.
As it seeks to achieve the introduction of this global moratorium, the European Union is unable to offer countries ravaged by violence any significant aid in the area of public security. Consequently, the Italian Government’s initiative, which is to receive the European Union’s support today, may also be deemed hypocritical."@en | 3 |

In overall terms, the German Free Democratic Party (FDP) in the European Parliament supports the waste disposal directive. However, the subject of photovoltaic modules remains a problem. There is no understandable reason for excluding the entire sector from the regulations. We have a wide range of legislation governing waste streams. Therefore, it is not clear why a complete industry, which is expected to produce significant waste streams, is being exempted. For this reason, some of the FDP Members of the European Parliament have abstained from voting on the report."@en | 3 |
| "As an MEP who has always paid particular attention to issues relating to crime prevention, security and police cooperation, I acknowledge the fundamental importance of Europol in creating a secure European area and preventing crime throughout Europe, along with the need for it to be reinforced at various levels, including those under discussion here.
However, the principal question being debated here today is whether Parliament, less than a week before the Treaty of Lisbon enters into force, should renounce its new institutional prerogatives relating to crime prevention and police cooperation and thus do away with the possibility of playing a part in the decision-making process for all these issues under the codecision procedure.
I do not believe that this is the right course. This Parliament must fully assume its new powers in these matters. In view of this, I am voting in favour of this report requesting the Council withdraw its proposal."@en | 3 |

I am relieved that this 67-day-old protest has ended before any human lives were lost.
As you know, I wrote to the Turkish Justice Minister urging him to listen to the hunger strikers’ demands. I am delighted that the Turkish Government has acceded to the strikers’ demand that use of the Kurdish language be permitted in schools and in the courts. Therefore it has acceded at least to some of the demands made of it, and has introduced a bill on use of the Kurdish language in court proceedings before parliament. That is an important step, with regard to us too, because the European Parliament has long been voicing that same demand.
Ladies and gentlemen, like all of you, I am sure, I was greatly saddened to hear of the deaths of Palestinian and Israeli civilians. On behalf of this House, I expressly deplore the escalation of violence between Hamas and Israel. I emphatically urge both sides to eschew violence and exercise the utmost restraint in order to prevent further escalation and more deaths.
It is always the civilians on both sides who pay the highest price for this vicious circle of aggression and recrimination. The European Parliament supports all diplomatic efforts to secure an immediate ceasefire. Therefore, may I remind you that, on Wednesday afternoon, the plenary will be debating the situation in the Middle East."@en | 1 |

Your words expressed that you and your country represent democracy and freedom; you work against violence, against terror, against dictatorship. When you say that Costa Rica is a small country, then I would like to point out that the population of a country or its geographical area are not the most important things. What is important is the spirit of a country and its president. Anyone who has heard your speech knows that President Arias and Costa Rica stand for freedom and democracy. That makes Costa Rica a big country in the world.
You are a man of peace; that is why you were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1987. However, you did not retire after that; 21 years have passed, and now you are advocating peace between people and peace with nature. The European Parliament stands alongside you in upholding these principles.
I would also like to give a warm welcome to the ministers of your government who are accompanying you – the Minister of Foreign Relations, Stagno Ugarte, and the Minister of Foreign Trade, Ruiz Gutiérrez, who are also here in the Chamber, together with many citizens of Costa Rica, who live here in Brussels and in Belgium. Be proud of your country! Not in a nationalistic sense, because then countries that have dictatorships and are ruled by violence could also be proud of themselves, but be proud of your country, of Costa Rica, because you champion the right values: democracy, freedom and peace.
Thank you very much once again. Muchas gracias, President Arias!"@en | 1 |
| "− Prime Minister Orbán, thank you for the account you have given us. As we know, the Hungarian Presidency came at a very difficult time for the world and for the European Union. You mentioned the threats that emerged during the Hungarian Presidency. Our response to threats is always what matters most. This was the first Hungarian Presidency, and thus the country’s first experiences in this area. This is why we listened so attentively to the Prime Minister’s speech, and we will now hold a debate on what he said.
As an additional point, I would like to thank you for the memorandum you sent to me and to the prime ministers, chancellors and presidents of the EU Member States. This memorandum sets out a vision of measures to be taken in the Western Balkans, and I believe that this vision is very important. I would also like to make one very important comment to the House: Mr Orbán referred to the Western Balkans as representing the conclusion of Europe’s reunification. There was a reunification back in 2004, and now we must complete this process. Prime Minister Orbán also very briefly outlined the situation in the individual countries, and presented a strategic programme which should guide our actions. I would like to add that the European Parliament has always been in favour of enlarging the European Union to include the Western Balkans, although they must of course meet the criteria first. The most important point for us is that these criteria are met, and I am sure we agree on this, Prime Minister Orbán.
I would now like to ask the President of the European Commission, Mr Barroso, to take the floor."@en | 1 |
| "− Prime Minister Orbán, thank you very much for presenting the measures undertaken by the Hungarian Presidency, and for your comments. I would like to stress that the Hungarian Presidency has had a particularly beneficial impact on the European Parliament’s work. It was the Hungarian Presidency which drafted rules governing contact between the European Parliament and the Commission and future presidencies with regard to the multiannual financial framework. This is very important for us, and we endeavoured to ensure that such rules were put in place. The next four presidencies, or in other words the Polish, Danish, Cypriot and Irish presidencies, will undertake the same commitment as the Hungarian Presidency, and will follow in its footsteps. Measures of this kind are advantageous for our future debate on the multiannual financial framework.
Thank you once again, Prime Minister Orbán, and thanks to your entire government, to Vice-President Šefčovič and to all our fellow Members.

Question No 70 by Giovanna Corda ()
A recent study by two Belgian universities demonstrates the high risk of the bluetongue disease becoming endemic in northern Europe. Since the spread of bluetongue is linked to movements of the carriers and strengthening of the viral strains, should we not immediately undertake emergency measures in anticipation of the disease progressing?
In addition, since the total number of cattle herds and sheep flocks affected by the disease increased from 695 in 2006 to 6 857 in 2007 in Belgium alone, would the Commission state what measures it intends to introduce for the development of an antiviral treatment, for vaccination campaigns, and for the financing of the foregoing?"@en | 1 |

Slovenia has introduced a new road charging system with effect from 1 July 2008. Under this system, road users wishing to make a single trip through Slovenia in a private car, for which they previously had to pay around EUR 7, must now purchase either a six-month vignette for EUR 35 (five times as much as the present charge) or a twelve-month vignette for EUR 55.

Citizens of Moldova and Georgia are confronted with considerable difficulties in obtaining visas for the EU Member States. In addition, the entry into force of the visa facilitation agreement between the EU and the Russian Federation has brought about a paradoxical situation whereby the inhabitants of the separatist regions of Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Transnistria, who mostly hold Russian passports, now benefit from a less restrictive visa and travel regime. What action will the Council take to contribute towards easing the visa regime for Moldovan and Georgian citizens and implementing the respective agreements? It is also necessary, as a matter of urgency, that the Common Visa Centre in Chisinau should be able to count on the cooperation of more EU Member States with a view to transposing the practical process of facilitating visas. How does the Council explain the fact that so far only a small number of Member States have done so, and how it will ensure that the rest cooperate forthwith?"@en | 1 |

| "− Sexual crimes against children constitute one of the most abhorrent crimes, and we must do our utmost to prevent them from taking place. This report provides tools to do just that, and I welcome many of the new provisions. The main reason why I could not support this report is because it also introduces provisions which allow for access to certain Internet web sites to be blocked. I wholeheartedly agree that the mass dissemination of images of abuse through the Internet must be stopped; however, this can only be achieved through the removal at source of such material. However, if we want to allow blocking as a complementary measure, we must ensure that the conditions and safeguards for blocking are stringent and in conformity with our fundamental rights. This is particularly important as such provisions are being introduced in EU legislation for the very first time, and therefore set a precedent. However, the current provisions fall short of these standards because they are not stringent enough and may, therefore, pave the way for restricting internet users on a wider scale, thus leading to the censorship of the Internet on the basis of intellectual property rights breaches or other minor offences."@en | 1 |

| "− The EU needs to shift from a stability to a democracy paradigm. In the area of human rights and democracy, it needs to establish greater consistency between its values and democracy as it is actually practised, between its internal and its external policies, and between the institutions. The EU consequently has a duty, through its different programmes, to strengthen its support for civil society and social movements (trade unions, mutual societies, women’s networks and youth networks), supporting the spread of those movements. However, it must also take steps to promote the freedom of expression of independent media and the protection of journalists and human rights defenders. It is important to emphasise the need for a gender perspective in the implementation of the guidelines, with targeted actions in favour of female human rights defenders and other particularly vulnerable groups, such as journalists and defenders working to promote economic, social and cultural rights, children's rights, and minority rights. I underline the necessity for women's full participation in all areas of peace and security in order to enhance conflict prevention, ensure sustainable peace and develop specific training programs allowing female entrepreneurs to increase their participation in world trade."@en | 1 |

| "− The European Parliament is therefore of the opinion that any new, additional exemptions from the current rules, such as new grounds for reintroducing border controls on an ‘exceptional’ basis, would definitely not reinforce the Schengen system. In order to exclude such cases of loose interpretation of Schengen rules, additional provisions should be made. An agreement is effective when parties cannot retreat from it. I voted in favour."@en | 1 |
| "− The European Parliament welcomes the Commission’s ‘Youth Opportunities Initiative’ Communication building on earlier Commission initiatives like ‘Youth on the Move’ and ‘New skills and new jobs’ and the many initiatives presented in this series of communications, but has serious doubts as to whether the scale of the actions proposed is proportionate to the gravity of the current youth unemployment crises experienced in many Member States.

| "− The Union must fully realise the dangers that come with new technological developments, particularly ICT and the internet, when talking about sexual abuse, sexual exploitation of children and child pornography. The sexual exploitation of children and child pornography has long existed, but a significant increase of cases of sexual exploitation of children, particularly across borders, over the years should point to the gravity of the problem. New, evolutionary developments in communication and information technology facilitate sexual offenders to reach their victims and easily abuse their rights. Sexual predators are also constantly provided with different instruments to buy, produce, distribute, transmit, and supply child pornography pictures and videos across Europe. Child abuse and pornography span the Europe Union and are not limited to individual Member States; therefore, we need a comprehensive pan-European approach that centres around the best interests of the child. I believe that this Directive, if implemented accordingly, will be a valuable legal instrument which will establish minimum rules and criminalise the most serious forms of child sexual abuse. It will make a real difference in covering the prosecution of offenders, strengthening the protection of child victims, and preventing an increase of the phenomenon as well as future crimes against children."@en | 1 |
| "− The attitude of the EU towards its Eastern and Mediterranean neighbours has often neglected dialogue with civil society, striving to provide stability but not to promote human rights. This resolution calls for the governments of Syria, Bahrain and Yemen to respect their international commitment to observe human rights and fundamental freedoms, and calls for an end to the extraordinary situation, the release of all prisoners of conscience and human rights defenders, the strengthening of corruption prevention measures and the provision of access to communication. I am, of course, in favour. However, I would like to ask those who have ‘unexpectedly’ become concerned about the situation in these countries: where were you before? Bearing in mind the recommendation of the European Parliament, I can imagine what will happen when half-literate people are taught democracy without a transitional period! It is necessary to approach the end of civil conflict in these countries in a serious, pragmatic and discreet manner. A long-term transitional programme is necessary."@en | 1 |

An equally warm welcome, of course, to the President of the European Commission, José Manuel Durão Barroso, and thank you to him for his work at the European summit.
Ladies and gentlemen, before we begin the debate I should like – and I do not wish to jump ahead at all – to thank the Portuguese Presidency sincerely for its enormous input and for the success achieved on Thursday night at around 1 a.m. when it approved the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
This is a great result for the European Union and a great result for us all. On behalf of the European Parliament, I should like to add that without the European Parliament, we would not be where we are today. This is also a great result for us all because the Treaty was and is the top priority for the European Parliament if we are to come out ahead and be victorious in this Treaty.
With these congratulations to the Portuguese Presidency, and also to the Commission – and I see Commissioner Wallström here, who has also made a significant contribution, next to the President of the Commission – it gives me great joy now to hand over to the President of the EU Council, José Sócrates. A warm welcome to the European Parliament!"@en | 1 |

I should also like, even though I cannot name them all, to mention a few representative people: the President-in-Office, Prime Minister José Sócrates, Foreign Minister Luís Amado, Secretary of State Manuel Lobo Antunes and also, of course, Ambassador Álvaro Mendonça e Moura. Many thanks to you and all your colleagues who have assisted you.
My sincere thanks also to the Commission and its President, José Manuel Durão Barroso. I should also like to say here once again (I have already said this briefly to the European Council) that the fact that we have been able to reach a result on the important issue of the Galileo Project is also due to the fact that the European Commission and the European Parliament have cooperated so well together and we have in the end been able to achieve a good result together with the Portuguese Presidency. Many thanks to the Commission too in this respect.
Ladies and gentlemen, the past week has been very eventful. First of all the signing of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights on Wednesday in the European Parliament in Strasbourg, followed by the signing of the Reform Treaty on Thursday in Lisbon and finally the Summit on Friday in Brussels. I must say, President-in-Office, Mr Sócrates, that the ceremonial signing of the Treaty at the Hieronymus Monastery in Lisbon was a very beautiful, symbolic expression of our many common interests. We hope that all the parliaments and peoples will now follow Hungary’s example and quickly adopt the Treaty as well."@en | 1 |

| "− The rapporteur underlines the principle that men and women should receive equal pay for equal work. This principle has been enshrined in the Treaties of the European Community since 1957. This report reiterates the recommendations adopted by the European Parliament in 2008. Equal pay for equal work is the concept that individuals doing the same work should receive the same remuneration. In America, for example, the law states that ‘employers may not pay unequal wages to men and women who perform jobs that require substantially equal skill, effort and responsibility, and that are performed under similar working conditions within the same establishment’. It is most commonly used in a context of sexual discrimination, as equal pay for women. Equal pay does not simply relate to basic salary but also to the full range of benefits, non-salary payments, bonuses and allowances that are paid. I supported this report with my vote because its adoption will be vital to prevent poverty and social exclusion of women of all age groups."@en | 1 |
| "− The report emphasizes the positive work of the Ombudsman and points to a remarkable change from one year to the next. The Ombudsman has the duty to insist on important matters such as fundamental rights of access to documents, on proper implementation of the principle of transparency in the decision-making process, a citizen-friendly culture of service and a pro-active attitude by the EU’s institutions. I endorse this report, but there are still more things to be done. Moreover, I want to emphasize the fact that in the Eastern Partnership countries the Ombudsman has to be an important tool for democratisation and the EU has to be a positive example. There is Ombudsman cooperation, which has as its main objective to reinforce the powers of Ombudsman’s Offices in Eastern Partnership countries to participate in the building of democratic states that respect individuals’ rights."@en | 1 |

| "− The report proposes to make 2012 the European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations. The European Year of Active Ageing will help people to face the challenges of ageing.

| "− This European Parliament resolution is a strong statement for the promotion of democratic values outside Europe and recognition that a ‘one size fits all’ policy on external democratisation may not be possible. The resolution affirms European values based on civil, political, cultural, and economic rights and highlights Europe’s obligation to ensure that these rights are practised in Europe and around the world. In cases where states are perpetrating human rights abuses, this resolution outlines several methods for dealing with foreign governments, such as imposing appropriate sanctions on individuals or using effective conditionality agreements with these countries. I voted for this resolution, because it declares that any true promotion of democracy in foreign countries cannot happen with the support of and consultation with local actors. I believe that the resolution effectively outlines the European Parliament’s strong but pragmatic support for democratisation in the world."@en | 1 |

| "− Today we are commemorating the fourth European Day of the Victims of Terrorism. It is a day that we must keep in our memory in order to remember all those who have been the innocent victims of terrorism.
The terrorist attacks in Madrid on 11 March 2004 –four years ago today – and in London on 7 July 2005 claimed many victims and left many families torn apart by the barbarities of terrorism.
Just last Friday, the terrorist organisation ETA assassinated again. Isaías Carrasco, a former Socialist councillor, was shot when he left his home in Mondragón. I wish to express our deepest condolences to all his family.
As President of the European Parliament and on my own behalf, I should like to reassure you that the victims of terrorism – wherever they are in the world – will never be erased from our memories. Today, we shall commemorate Isaías Carrasco and all the victims of terrorism, in order to assure the victims of the madness of terrorist attacks of our respect and our sympathy. They are and will always remain present in our hearts and in our work. Sympathy for and solidarity with all the families of the victims is a duty for all of us.
The European Parliament is actively involved in the fight against terrorism and in supporting the victims of terrorist attacks. I cannot repeat often enough that there is absolutely no justification for terrorism. We must therefore take a united approach in this fight on the basis of the rule of law and with all the force of the law.
Ladies and gentlemen, please rise from your seats for a minute’s silence in memory of the victims of terrorism."@en | 1 |
| "− Today we are commemorating the sixth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on London’s public transport system, in which 52 people died and approximately 800 were injured.
We are commemorating and remembering what happened in London on 7 July 2005, an event we will never forget. Today in particular, our thoughts are with the families and friends of the victims of the terrorist attack.
The bomb attack on London was one of the worst terrorist attacks committed on European soil. I would like to say something to those behind the bomb attacks: whatever they do, they will never achieve what they are trying to achieve, since we have genuine respect for every human life. No terrorist or terrorist attack will ever be able to shake or destroy our faith in basic values such as fundamental human rights.
Terrorism is an attack against all of us, and against the very foundations of a democratic society. It will never be possible to justify it. Europe will always be united in the fight against any form of terrorism.
I would like to ask you to observe a minute’s silence."@en | 1 |

The UK already has a considerable body of criminal law dealing with these crimes and remains at the forefront of developing new laws and techniques to combat perpetrators' activities as they develop in the internet age. UKIP supports the thrust of this report but cannot, as a matter of principle, concede to the EU the right to determine UK criminal law. For that reason we have abstained."@en | 1 |
| "− Under the codecision procedure, legislative acts are signed by the President of the European Parliament and the current Presidency representing the Council. Before resuming the sitting, a legislative package will be signed to make it effective. Cecilia Malmström, the Minister for European Affairs, will sign on behalf of the Council. I am very pleased that Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner is also with us today.
I would like to say a few words on the legislation we are about to sign today. Today, the eve of the extraordinary summit of the European Union in preparation for the G20 Summit in Pittsburgh is a good occasion to strengthen the role of the European Parliament as co-legislator. I have been asked to represent the European Parliament at the dinner of Heads of State or Government. We, the European Union, will be preparing for our participation in the G20 Summit in Pittsburgh.
Today we have an important package of four different legislative acts under the codecision procedure approved by us in response to the financial crisis. What is in the package? A capital requirements directive, a regulation on credit rating agencies, a new regulation on cross-border payments, and a decision establishing a new programme to support specific activities in the field of financial services, financial reporting and audit.
The directive and the regulations are aimed at protecting EU investors and the European Union’s financial system, and at increasing consumer rights guarantees and ensuring better supervision. These acts are aimed at stabilising the financial markets. We are thereby fulfilling the predictions, but the legislation we are signing was drawn up by Parliament in the previous term. Would Minister Malmström like to take the floor before signing the legislative acts?"@en | 1 |

In any case, as I am also Vice-President responsible for multilingualism, I am going to try to talk to the interpreters, my friends the interpreters, to see how the term ‘catch the eye’ can be translated into other languages.
For now we will say that whoever wishes to speak may do so, if the President gives them speaking time by ‘catch the eye’. By ‘catch the eye’, then, I grant speaking time to Mr Cavada, who I am sure has much to say to us on this subject."@en | 1 |

| "− Yes, Mr Konrad, of course you have every right and we take note of your protest. However, you belong to a very responsible group in this House and you will understand that what cannot happen is that individual Members have more time than the groups. The groups have a statutory responsibility to participate in the debates.
The Bureau took this decision unanimously. I consider this to be a common-sense decision, precisely to prevent Members who have not been put forward by their group – because the group does not want them to speak at that time – from speaking afterwards. That is why the time has been restricted: five minutes for five speeches, in order from the largest group to the smallest, while also making sure that not all the speakers are the same nationality.
That is what was decided. Of course, this rule can be changed. If the Conference of Presidents proposes a change in the procedure to the Bureau, the Bureau will consider it with all due care.
Thank you very much, Mr Konrad, for your contribution; it has been well noted.

In Catalonia, where I come from, more than 50% of people under 25 are effectively without a job and not studying. This is a disastrous situation for our societies that see how one of the better educated generations in our history has little chances to join the labour force for the foreseeable future. I support thus this resolution, and I want to specially point out the importance of paragraph 19, where the European Parliament calls on the Commission to prioritise the redeployment of the EUR 82 billion still unused from structural funds into fighting youth unemployment. I hope that the Commission takes this idea very much into account."@en | 1 |
