"Mr President, I have asked for the floor on a point of order. On behalf of my group, I would like to request that a report be referred back to committee, pursuant to Rule 154 of the Rules of Procedure. The facts of the matter are that, following the debate in the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Human Rights, Common Security and Defence Policy a report was adopted on Community defence equipment policy for which I am rapporteur and which is on the draft agenda for this coming Wednesday. The Conference of Presidents had decided – and herein lies the problem – that this report should be drawn up pursuant to Rule 162(a) of the Rules of Procedure, which is to say, according to the procedure for enhanced cooperation between Parliamentary committees. Under these circumstances, the Committee on Foreign Affairs was responsible for commenting on the basic texts, and the Committee on Industry, External Trade, Research and Energy was responsible for delivering an opinion. For reasons linked to how this rule – a recent one, incidentally – was interpreted, the reworded report is incoherent and different from the one adopted by the Committee on Foreign Affairs. With a view to overcoming this difficulty, I would now like to request that the report be referred back to committee. Our aim in making this request is not to change what has already been approved in committee, or to call into question the Committee on Industry’s status. As I said, we wish to enable the opinion of the Committee on Industry to be coherently incorporated into this report in order to preserve the integrity of the report as a whole, which could not be done in time. I appeal to my fellow Members, therefore, to support my request in this instance, since my sole intention is to help solve this problem – which, incidentally, has arisen through no fault of my own – in a constructive fashion."@en1
