lpv:translated text	"Thank you, Mr President, for not having overlooked me this time. I am very grateful for that, since this is the eighth time I have asked to take the floor. I should like to say three things. First of all, our fellow MEP, Mr Duff, pointed out a moment ago that the committee and committees had given thorough consideration to the issue of the legal basis. It is interesting to note that not a single instance can be found of consideration being given to the fundamental issue, namely that of whether Article 308 can be used to implement a real change in the Treaty. It is, of course, only with the Treaty of Nice which, it will be recalled, has not yet come into force, that a legal basis has been furnished. That is what the issue is about and, when Mr Napolitano now tells us that he is immediately to call an extraordinary meeting of the committee, he might perhaps be requested to see to it that this fundamental issue of legality and the legal basis is examined, at least in such a way that some indications of the legal issue emerge. I can refer to a long list of pronouncements by the EC Court of Justice, clearly showing that we really are concerned with a Treaty change here. Finally, I just want to add my congratulations to that majority which, in accordance with the Rules of Procedure, prevented the matter from coming up for debate. Moreover, I would take the liberty of drawing the President’s attention to Article 143, Paragraph 2 which states that, once such a proposal has been adopted, Parliament should immediately – I repeat the word ‘immediately’ – move on to the next item on the agenda."@en1
