"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we have all read the Commission position. I would therefore request a referral back to committee to re-examine the matter. There are currently two options and I do not know whether, for once in this House, common sense might prevail. Calm down! It is very amusing. Every time Parliament takes a position, we ask the Commission to give it serious consideration. When the Commission takes a position, I ask that we give serious consideration to what the Commission has written, because we always ask this of the Council and the Commission. That is why. It is simple. The Commission has written in black and white that what we voted on was the request for referral back to committee. This is not a point of order, Mr President, it is a request for referral back to committee pursuant to Article 144. As I was about to say, therefore, let it not be said in future that we did not have all the facts. The Council, which finds it difficult to come to any agreement, will choose the very argument of the Commission to say no to a single Statute, because some countries do not want a single Statute for Members. That is why I am requesting a referral back to committee, for the article on immunity to be amended, so that we might have a chance of achieving a single Statute. All those who wish to present this text to the Council, which can only say yes or no, since the procedure is for Council assent, must take responsibility before European public opinion for not wanting a European Statute!"@en1
