lpv:translated text	"Ladies and gentlemen, I have received many requests to speak. We absolutely must find the best solution. I will read to you the letter that Mr Hänsch sent to Mr Hervé de Charrette, the then French Foreign Minister, at the time of the Tapie affair. The most important paragraph states that: “Due to the irreversible nature of the withdrawal of the mandate, it seems to me appropriate to wait for the Council of State to rule on this appeal. It appears that the Council of State’s decision on the stay of execution will be taken imminently”. As you can see, and we cannot get into a discussion on this, I too looked at what my predecessors did in similar situations because case law does, rightfully, exist. We are now in a difficult position. I propose that we decide whether or not we want the Legal Affairs Committee to draw up a genuine proposal, as some of you seem to think that the letter written to me by Mrs Palacio is not a proposal within the terms of the Rules of Procedure. Personally, I must abide by the Rules of Procedure which state that: “On a proposal from that committee, Parliament may adopt a position on the matter”. If Parliament, therefore, wants a genuine proposal, we will ask the Legal Affairs Committee to draw up this proposal on which we can calmly vote, not at midday, but a little later perhaps. We must resolve this situation. I will therefore immediately put the two possible solutions to the vote. The first is that we keep to the current position which is to abide by the terms of Mrs Palacio’s letter and await the outcome of any appeal lodged with the Council of State by the Member in question, before officially noting the withdrawal or otherwise of the mandate. The second solution is that the plenary asks the Legal Affairs Committee to draw up a genuine proposal on which Parliament will adopt a position in accordance with Rule 7(4)."@en1
