lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we were all a little hasty because we did not want to delay the forthcoming debate on the submission of the budget needlessly. I have a genuine procedural motion. I am making a point of order as I think that the Conference of Presidents and the President of this Parliament are violating the Rules of Procedure, in particular Article 3 of Annex XIII. Yesterday, the Commission President, Mr Prodi, sent the President of this Parliament, Mr Cox, a letter setting out how the members of the Committee on Budgetary Control and the members of the Conference of Presidents should debate the documents on the current investigation into Eurostat. Mr Prodi drew up a form for this purpose in accordance with Annex 3, Article 3.2, Line 2. With one exception, that is the least strict rule, in accordance with which we will be looking at the matter behind closed doors tomorrow evening. According to the agreement between Parliament and the Commission, however, the President of Parliament and the President of the Commission have to negotiate on this. I would therefore like to ask Mr Cox and the Conference of Presidents to argue for a more favourable regulation. My second comment is that the meeting between the Conference of Presidents, the members of the Committee on Budgetary Control and the Commission President, Mr Prodi, is to take place behind closed doors next Thursday. All the people from the press in the room downstairs tell me, however, that Mr Prodi’s spokesman said that if Parliament wants this meeting to take place in public, it can be. I think that it is befitting for our dignity and is also in our interest to ask most emphatically that this meeting be held in public. I think that all citizens of Europe are entitled to this and that it would be counterproductive if it were not to happen. I would therefore like to ask you, Mr President, to put these two questions to Mr Cox very emphatically. I will be extremely grateful to you for doing so."@en1
