lpv:translated text	"Madam President, there was a great deal of confusion and uncertainty yesterday surrounding the voting on amendment 11 to the Virrankoski report. The aim of the PPE’s amendment was to delete the second part of the text of the report, with the first part remaining intact. The purpose of this amendment was clear, but the way in which the voting was to take place was not. This was due to the fact that those who submitted the amendment also applied for there to be split voting with regard to the original text. This was also requested by the socialists and the Greens/ ALE group. The EDD requested voting by roll call. The request of the latter was granted, the others were not. As such, the amended text has been brought to vote in a way unlike that which many Members could reasonably have expected. As a result, thirteen people in my group voted against their convictions. The difference was 16 votes and I am quite sure that there are at least three others who voted in error. I find it striking that an issue which is so close to many MEPs’ hearts, namely absurdly high travel expenses, should be the cause of so much confusion. I hope that the way in which the voting took place will be good enough reason to allow a repeat vote during the second reading in December on what was voted on in the original text. ( )"@en1
