"Mr President, I shall speak with right on my side. Personally, I believe that we are making a mistake, largely due to the way the original regulations of OLAF were put together, but that is another question. Here we must have a very clear idea about why this Parliament requires an absolute majority for questions which affect MEPs. You have given the reason, Mr President: because we are looking for a broad consensus. We cannot hide behind a technical question that there are agreements which are not incorporated in the regulations. This is a matter which must remain outside the regulations and therefore the logical and reasonable thing – and rules, when the law is the law and not just formal texts, must be reasonable – should be that this be supported by an absolute majority in this Parliament. Any other approach would fundamentally contravene the very essence of the parliamentary Rules of Procedure."@en1
