"Mr President, I want to appeal to the Rules of Procedure, with regard to Rule 116. This morning, during the debate on the Watson report – a particularly heated debate – in the course of the speech by Mr Schulz, who had attacked the Italian Prime Minister, the President of Parliament and certain Italian Members, there was an interruption from the public, who loudly applauded what Mr Schulz said. I appealed to the acting President – I did not argue with Mr Schulz, naturally – and asked him to make the members of the public present in the House remain silent. I recall that Rule 116 says: ‘Members of the public admitted to the galleries shall remain seated and keep silent. Any person expressing approval or disapproval shall immediately be ejected by the ushers.’ When I turned to President Schmid I was given the following answer: ‘You are right, but I cannot tie the hands of those present in the House.’ I believe the acting President contravened the Rules of Procedure. I believe the Rules of Procedure should be obeyed to the letter: this applies to the left, the centre and the right; it applies to everybody, because it is the Rules of Procedure that dictate civilised coexistence in this House. This is Parliament, not the Strasbourg stadium!"@en1
