lpv:spoken text	"Mr. President, I also wish to congratulate Mrs Maij-Weggen and Mr Cashman on this second success. They already deserve our congratulations on their work on the original legislation, Council and Parliament Regulation 1049/2001, where their work was crucial in securing that positive result. Now they are coming back to translate that into our Rules of Procedure to ensure that our work is transparent. It is arguable that the European Union is in some ways already more transparent than some of our Member States. It certainly does not reach the highest standards set by some of our Member States, but we are moving in the right direction, although of course it is still not perfect. However we will review it in a few years in the light of experience. Looking at the package of amendments to our Rules of Procedure tabled by the Committee on Constitutional Affairs, I can say on behalf of my group that we will support the thrust of what the Committee on Constitutional Affairs has put forward. We shall listen to the arguments that are being put forward in this debate and then review our position again, but our group is leaning towards accepting Amendment No 14 from the PPE-DE Group, the first half of Amendment No 15 from the Verts/ALE Group, and possibly Amendment No 16 from the Verts/ALE Group. We are opposed to the second half of Amendment No 15 from the Verts/ALE Group, which is entirely unworkable and would raise a number of practical problems if it were adopted. As Mr Cashman explained, we question whether Amendment No 17 from the Verts/ALE Group it is admissible, and I welcome the fact that Mr MacCormick was doubtful about that. I gather it may well be withdrawn and I would welcome that. That is the position of our group, subject to the arguments we are listening to now. However, whatever happens to those particular amendments, I am quite confident that there will be a successful outcome in the vote tomorrow."@en1
