"Mr President, the internal self-regulation of Parliament is one of the fundamental bulwarks of its independence. Anything which affects Parliament’s right to self-regulation affects a core element which allows it, or rather enables it, to perform its sovereign functions as the people’s representative. This is found in the constitutional history of all parliaments. This is the reason why specific precautions are introduced to prevent this sovereignty being limited in any way. If we take an impulsive, majority decision on a matter of this kind and interpret the annexes without taking into account how these agreements affect fundamental issues, we will in some way contravene the basic rationale, the objective of the legislation we are addressing."@en1
