"Mr President, I am sorry you are forced to stay here for a while – I know you are hungry. But – and I am speaking to you as a Vice-President – it just goes to show the extent to which this period of explanations of vote attracts Members’ attention and how appropriate it would be, in the restructuring you are currently looking at, to examine whether explanations of vote on major issues should not take place – as used to happen – before the vote and not at a time when everyone gets bored because all we can do is stay here listening to each other.
I am speaking on behalf of the Italian Radicals in this explanation of vote to justify our vote in favour, stressing that, in spite of everything, this resolution contains important points, including the need for dialogue, the need to get past the stage of pseudo-sanctions against Austria – which has not been constructive – and make sure the Minutes state that the vote also includes an important request we formulated last April and which we now reiterate: review of the seat of the institutions.
Parliament has spoken very clearly. Yesterday we gave a practical demonstration of our position by abolishing the Friday sittings. I think it is high time account was taken in the Treaty reforms of our determination to insist finally on a status that makes us masters of our own procedure, and masters of our own decisions as to the seat and meeting place of our institution. That is what we said and that is why we voted in favour of it."@en1
