"Madam President, I want to speak on the item ‘statute and financing of European political parties’.
I do not think the Minutes accurately reflect the point Mr Ribeiro e Castro raised yesterday. He invoked Rule 143 of the Rules of Procedure, raising the question of prejudice and contesting the legal base for Mrs Schleicher’s report. A majority in Parliament agreed with Mr Ribeiro e Castro’s interpretation, and as there is therefore a question of prejudice – the fact that the Treaty of Nice has not yet been ratified – it seems to me that Parliament certainly cannot return to this issue pending the Treaty’s ratification. It cannot therefore be put back on Parliament’s agenda.
I would also like to thank the President for the sitting, Mr Vidal-Quadras Roca, for the way he conducted yesterday’s debate, and mention a letter from Mrs Palacio, who reminds each of us that the legal bases underpinning Parliament’s decisions are not determined by strength of majority alone, but also by legal factors and assessments."@en1
