"Madam President, this matter has been very badly handled from the start. This is to be regretted given the political impact it will have.
You can get an idea of the confusion which reigned within the Legal Affairs Committee during the examination of this issue when someone like Mrs Hautala is under the impression that this is a question of waiving parliamentary immunity. This is not at all the case and it is in this climate of confusion within the committee that a roughly equal number of votes for and against were cast, hence this proposal.
This is what happened. I completely agree with Mr Poettering that the law must be respected: French law is what it is, however, whether you agree with it or not. In this situation, French law stipulates that the government must assume its responsibilities based on a judgement from a tribunal. In other words, it must publish the decree withdrawing the mandate and we unfortunately have no choice but to take note of this officially. Whether this is a good or bad thing, it is a situation which I felt I had to clarify."@en1
