"Madam President, I only got to see the Conference of Presidents’ proposal for the European Parliament’s calendar of part-sessions for the Year 2000 once the deadline for submitting amendments had elapsed. I then became aware of the fact that one plenary part-session in Strasbourg, namely the one due to take place on 12 June 2000, falls on Whit Sunday. This is an official Christian festival and therefore also a public holiday in some EU Member States, that is to say in Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Austria and Sweden. I have never known the European Parliament to meet on such a day before. I bitterly regret that the existing proposal fails to take account of this important tradition. In view of the aforementioned considerations and the practical problems that may arise as a result of organising a part-session on what is actually an official holiday in many Member States, I would ask you, Madam President, to find a fitting solution."@en1
