"Here is the proposal from the President. We are within the scope of Rule 170(1) of the Rules of Procedure, which states in the second sub-paragraph, ‘The intention to move adjournment shall be notified at least twenty-four hours in advance to the President, who shall inform Parliament immediately.’ It is clear that this condition has not been met: the adjournment was not requested twenty-four hours in advance. I am therefore obliged to proceed to the debate, all the more because our rapporteur so wishes.
I recognise, ladies and gentlemen, that a debate of such importance deserved a larger audience. I must, however, make two observations. Firstly, as a general rule, our debates rarely fill the House, be it a Thursday afternoon, a Monday, a Tuesday or a Wednesday. Secondly, our calendar is set up in such a way that Parliament sits on a Thursday afternoon. One cannot, therefore, discriminate between Members who make the effort to stay and those who prefer to attend to other business.
Consequently, we shall proceed with this debate and hand over straight away to Mrs Martens, our rapporteur."@en1
