lpv:translated text	"Madam President, on Friday of last month, the four votes could not be held because of the absence of a quorum which had been requested. Now, I do not think that this is the appropriate place to debate this. Those who took the initiative have sent a letter to all Members to explain what exactly their intentions were in taking this action. We will all have the chance next month, of course, to speak our minds regarding Fridays because we will then be discussing the 2001 Agenda. However, that does mean that we have a problem in the short term, namely what we will be doing this coming Friday. That problem has been addressed by this Parliament’s Bureau and, if I understand it correctly, the Bureau issued an opinion to the Conference of Presidents with a proposal not to hold any votes this coming Friday. As I understand it, this has not been discussed by the Conference of Presidents. Since it is, of course, up to this House to draft the agenda, I would like to propose simply moving all votes scheduled for Friday to Thursday because, whatever you may think of what happened last month, I think this would be the best way of avoiding the problem. We can then decide next month what we want to do in the long term."@en1
