"Mr President, I wanted, first of all, on a brief point of order, to comment on the application of Rule 112, reminding Parliament that this is a procedure which is to be applied strictly in exceptional circumstances. Quite frankly, I am amazed that the Council should invoke Rule 112 for a matter of this nature, which we would have been able to address in a few week’s time anyway without it making any difference to the measure, which, as you are aware, has already been in force since 1 January. In this regard, I would point out to the House that, irrespective of the position it expresses, last night, at an extraordinary meeting held at the request of the Council, the competent committee did not reach the quorum necessary to vote. The coordinators present were, in fact, surprised at the application of Rule 112 precisely because – as I said before, Mr President – it is, in my opinion, an instrument which is to be used in exceptional circumstances. We are therefore stunned that the urgent procedure has been employed for what is, I reiterate, a measure whose content is of very minor import."@en1
