"Mr President, the Council, like the other institutions, exercises its powers according to those conditions and for those purposes that are defined in Article 5 of the EC Treaty and in the provisions of later agreements and documents relating to amendments and additions, on the one hand, and the provisions of the Treaty on the European Union, on the other.
The voting rules contained in these agreements apply when decisions are made in the Council. Extending the scope of application of decisions based on a qualified majority in the Council is one of those issues to be discussed at the conference of the representatives of Member State governments, which is to convene at the beginning of 2000. The European Council took a decision on the matter at its meeting at Cologne on 3 and 4 June 1999. In the Protocol relating to the institutions and EU enlargement and which is annexed to the Treaty of Amsterdam, there are provisions for convening this Intergovernmental Conference. The honourable Member’s question thus does not fall within the area of responsibility of the Council but of that of the conference of representatives of Member State governments."@en1
