lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I request that this is not taken as a topical and urgent motion. The matter is potentially a very serious one, involving perhaps a breach of Article 10 of the Treaties, and I believe it requires more serious consideration than can be given to a topical and urgent motion on a Thursday afternoon. This matter has been drawn to the attention of the Committee on Citizens' Rights and Freedoms, Justice and Home Affairs, which I have the honour to chair. We have received the opinion of the Director of the Monitoring Centre on the matter, we have asked our budget rapporteur to investigate more widely the question of the Austrian government's attitude to the European Union Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia. We need to know the full facts regarding the resignation of Mr Pelinka, the Austrian member of the Centre's Executive Board. It may be that we need to refer the matter to the Group of Three Wise Persons charged with investigating the situation in Austria. But a topical and urgent motion would shed more heat than light on the matter, and seems to me to be an inappropriate vehicle. Therefore I would appeal to Members to vote against this request."@en1
