lpv:translated text	"The outcome of the vote on Parliament's calendar of sessions for 2004, means that only ten plenary sessions will be held in Strasbourg. The treaties and the jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice make it clear that the calendar of the European Parliament must include twelve plenary sessions held in Strasbourg every year, before provision is made for any additional plenary mini-sessions in Brussels. In electoral years of course, the number of plenary sessions held in Strasbourg can be reduced to eleven. It is therefore clear that one Strasbourg session is missing from the calendar adopted for the election year of 2004. We are also faced with the absurd situation that the House has voted to cancel the plenary session in Strasbourg when we were to have welcomed the elected representatives of the new Member States. The House voted to cancel this session on the very day on which we have approved the Accession Treaties for these countries. As Parliament’s vote must be deemed illegal, the French delegation of the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats calls on President Pat Cox to deal with the repercussions of this by immediately annulling the vote. We call for a Conference of Presidents to be convened as a matter of urgency to arrange for a new vote as soon as possible, in accordance with Community law."@en1
