"Madam President, my report on passenger transport by rail, road and inland waterway has been placed on Tuesday’s agenda under item No 16. In recent months, different groups have continuously called for either bringing the discussion forward or postponing it. Last week, I was informed that three of the groups, PSE, PPE-DE and the Verts/ALE, were in favour of postponing the discussion. I then agreed to this on the assumption that the other groups needed more time for a fully-fledged discussion. When on Thursday evening, much to my surprise, I heard that the Conference of Presidents had decided to go ahead with the discussion after all, I informed all Members that I was still prepared to postpone the debate. It since transpired on Thursday afternoon that the PPE-DE Group had not been in favour of postponement and that it is no longer an issue for the PSE Group either. Furthermore, the agendas of the two remaining plenary part-sessions of this year are already full. Now that I have found this out, I am withdrawing my offer which I made in writing and circulated and I assume that the debate will go ahead tomorrow."@en1
