"I am sure you remember that during its meeting on 27 and 28 July, the Committee on Constitutional Affairs (AFCO) examined a request for interpretation of Rule 29(1) of the Rules of Procedure put forward by the Conference of Presidents during the meeting on 21 July. The Committee on Constitutional Affairs ruled as follows: “The constitution of the Technical Group of Independent Members, a mixed group, is not in accordance with Rule 29(1) of the Rules of Procedure of the European Parliament.” In fact, the Committee on Constitutional Affairs continues, “The constitution of this group, specifically Annex 2 to the letter of constitution addressed to the President of the European Parliament, excludes any political allegiance. It permits the various signatory members total political autonomy within the group.” The Committee on Constitutional Affairs requests that the following interpretation be inserted into Rule 29(1) of our Rules of Procedure: “The formation of a group which openly rejects any political character and all political affiliation between its Members is not acceptable within the meaning of this rule.” This interpretation will be included, as is right and proper, in the Minutes for this day’s sitting. It will then be inserted into the Rules of Procedure, but if this interpretation is opposed tomorrow, before the Minutes of the current sitting are adopted, by a political group or by at least 32 Members, in accordance with Rule 180(4) of the Rules of Procedure, the matter will then be immediately referred to our House for a decision, as is usual, by simple majority vote, with at least one third of members in attendance. This is the procedure. If rejected, the matter will be referred back to the appropriate committee."@en1
