lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I do not dispute the fact that the Rules of Procedure form the backbone of our sittings. Neither do I dispute the fact that an amendment to the Rules of Procedure is to be approved. But it was clear this week, having discussed this amendment extensively, that leading members from all groups were in favour of amending these Rules of Procedure now. It completely staggers me to think that political rearguard action has led to a situation where the largest group of this Parliament is now prepared to give out negative vibes to the outside world. We warned against this happening only this week. We said: please do not hide behind formal objections. Nobody has been able to prove that the formal objections will remain a reality after this amendment is adopted. Rumour now has it that there is no majority for this amendment itself. Well, I can tell you this much: we are repeating the same mistake we made in May. We gave bad vibes then too, namely that, despite all agreements, there continues to be a majority here in favour of maintaining a privileged situation. As far as I am concerned, these agreements are sacred. I do hope that we can approve this amendment."@en1
