lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I am speaking on behalf of Mr Napolitano who cannot be here. It concerns these two reports about relatively non-controversial amendments to our Rules of Procedure. These reports were adopted in committee last autumn and we in our committee were unanimously of the opinion that nine months is a long enough gestation period for any report. We have of course enquired as to why the Conference of Presidents has not placed these two reports on the plenary agenda already. We are anxious to know quickly because we need to know what will happen to these reports before we move to the general revision of the Rules of Procedure scheduled later this year. It is therefore a matter of urgency. We have been told that the Conference of Presidents has not had time to consider this in full because the matter is still being examined by the meeting of secretaries-general of political groups with the deputy Secretary-General of the European Parliament. We all know about Coreper in the Council. Perhaps not all of us are aware that there is a sort of Coreper in the European Parliament that filters reports before they come to the Conference of Presidents, before they come into plenary. This is a highly dangerous way of proceeding and, after giving them nine months to consider the matter, it is now high time to put these reports on Parliament's agenda, if not today, then later in the week. I am sure the committee would be willing to accept an undertaking that they be put on for the next part-session. But I must move this on behalf of the committee, supported unanimously by every political group in the Committee on Constitutional Affairs."@en1
