lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I should like to draw the attention of our Assembly to certain provisions of our regulations that we are going to flout in the next few minutes. We are concerned here with Rules 1, 2 and 3 of Chapter 2 of the provisions in force since 1 July 1998 and governing the holding of meetings in parallel with our Parliament’s plenary sittings. The basic principle is that our Parliament should not organise any meeting of its Members when the plenaries are being held, the rare exceptions being mentioned in Rule 3 and no exception being tolerated in the case of the crucial sittings at which votes are taken. I would point out to you that quite a few of our fellow MEPs that are members of the Convention – in theory, 32, consisting of 16 representatives and 16 deputy representatives – have for the most part had to leave this Chamber in order to be present at the important work of the Convention which will begin this afternoon on the premises of our Parliament, but in Brussels. So that our fellow MEPs might have done their work both as members of the Convention and as legislators, it would have been enough for the work of the Convention – which our Parliament happily has the privilege of hosting – to take place for once in our Strasbourg buildings. Due to our absurd petty squabbling, this morning’s votes are going to be tainted with irregularity, because any votes that are passed by a majority lower than or equal to 32 may be suspected of having been distorted. I leave it to you to be the judges of the possible legal and political consequences of this. In conclusion, I would also point out to you that, if we do not take steps, this same regrettable situation is going to occur again at our plenary on Thursday 5 June."@en1
