"Mr President, item 11 of yesterday’s Minutes refers to a speech I made under Rule 121(a) of the Rules of Procedure. Apart from the fact that I would like to ask the Secretariat why there is no written summary of what I said, I would like to remind the House that I asked the Presidency to make firm representations to Belgian Railways on behalf of Parliament, calling upon them to reverse their worrying unilateral decision to withdraw night train No 299, that legendary train that used to connect the European Parliament’s three places of work – Brussels, Luxembourg and Strasbourg – before, crossing Switzerland and arriving in Milan.
This train has been withdrawn by a unilateral decision. Apart from the serious inconvenience this represents for the employees of the European Parliament, this makes things very difficult for the thousands of others travellers who often do that journey, particularly now with the approach of the end-of-year festivities. Since the Presidency of Parliament, responding to a similar speech by Mrs Ghilardotti at the start of the sitting of 5 September, said that they would make representations to Belgian Railways, I would like to know what was done, following both my and my fellow Member’s requests, to obtain the response of Belgian Railways. Is there a follow-up to this type of request? I would also like to know what happened to the speech I made yesterday, for I would like a written summary to be included in tomorrow’s publication."@en1
