"Mr President, we MEPs do of course have an interest in receiving all the information available, and we must in future continue to ensure that all information is passed on to the Members of this House. I would, though, like to emphasise something that Mr Farage had to acknowledge in the Conference of Presidents, namely that we have to take account of the legal position in different countries, and that applies in this case too, in which the punishment has been wiped from the record, so that no penalty has in fact been imposed. So it was that an absolute majority of us in the Conference of Presidents were of the opinion – as, I think, we are here today – that reopening this case would do nothing to change our decision in favour of this Commission, and would result only in a pointless debate. We have elected this Commission, and we will back it up in order that it can get on with its job. That it has started to do, and so we should move on to the important points on the agenda.
I might add, Mr President, that I wish to move that, in view of the urgency of the debate on Ukraine, we should pass on to it as soon as this item on the agenda has been dealt with."@en1
