"Madam President, I wish to raise a procedural motion.
I must remind Mr Wurtz that a tribunal does not deliver judgements. A court delivers judgements. He should brush up on his legal knowledge.
That apart, the Legal Affairs Committee rightfully discussed this issue and Mr Wurtz was not there. As a result, he is ill-placed to criticise a confusion which did not exist. There was political confusion but no legal confusion.
The position of the Legal Affairs Committee was simple. The decision is not final and therefore cannot be accepted. That apart, if the President wants to consult the plenary, this should at least pertain to a specific report, as pointed out by the committee’s chairperson.
We cannot properly discuss and vote at midday on such a politically complex issue when this complexity is based on an internal contradiction between texts in French criminal law, which is not easily accessible to the Members of this House, including the French Members. If you decide that a vote must be held in this Parliament, this cannot occur without a committee report."@en1
