Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to speak on the subject of this afternoon’s agenda.
This morning, the President saw fit to propose postponing Mr Ferri’s report. I agreed, as rapporteur on the subject of long-stay visas, to having my report discussed at 5.30 p.m. this afternoon. Since then, however, I have received apologies from a great number of members who intended to take part in this debate. The Chairman of the Committee on Citizens’ Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs, Mr Watson, apologised as he will be unable to attend. I also received apologies from Mr Pirker, Coordinator for the PPE Group, Mrs Terrón i Cusi, Coordinator for the Socialist Group, and from Mr Hernández Mollar, who were scheduled to speak this afternoon. There are other Members, too, in exactly the same position.
I feel that the absence of these Members who were down to speak on a report which was one of the priorities of the French Presidency means that we cannot have the proper debate which we ought to have on a subject on which Parliament must be consulted before the Council may decide. In my capacity as rapporteur and on behalf of the PPE Group, I am therefore requesting, Mr President, that my report be postponed until a later part-session."@en1
