"Mr President, I wanted to say to our rapporteur that his report, as many people wanted it to, has been greatly reduced in the manner of Balzac’s . I do not know whether that is the correct term in French, but anyway I wanted to emphasise that, thanks to the efforts of a certain number of Members who have Parliament’s interests at heart, a number of amendments which were not in Members’ interests have been rejected. Some of those amendments were absolutely ludicrous. For example, we would no longer have been able to ask for split voting, even though we are a Parliament consisting of experienced Members who just this morning, because urgency required it, had to table an oral amendment. We therefore had to limit ourselves with regard to the separate votes and other aspects, and to limit the urgent business. Consequently we are very pleased, even though there are still a number of black spots, that the adopted version of the report constitutes a clear retreat from what Mr Corbett wanted to impose on us."@en1
