"Madam President, before we take a vote – and I would rather a vote not be taken straight away – I should also like to join Mrs Theorin in appealing to Mr Duff as a friend and colleague to withdraw his request to establish the quorum. Last time, at the Friday sitting here in Strasbourg, a request of this type had a disastrous effect on the European Parliament’s image. It was broadcast on television the same day that there were not enough Members present in plenary to discuss aid to Ethiopia. Pictures of children who had died from famine and starving people were shown at the same time by the same channels. The same thing will happen today with the fight against trafficking in women. Pictures of poor girls living in districts that are unfit for habitation will be shown, and it will be broadcast that not enough Members were present in Parliament to discuss the matter. So, please, I beg you to withdraw your request to establish the quorum, and let us take a vote!"@en1
