lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, on a point of order under Rule 181 of the Rules of Procedure, I tabled a written declaration under Rule 51 calling for a boycott of Ferrero SpA. This was initially distributed, but on 9 March I received a letter from President Cox stating that in his view it was inadmissible and he was therefore withdrawing it from circulation. Search as I may through the Rules of Procedure, I can find no rule allowing the President to act in such an arbitrary manner and no rule is quoted in his letter. I therefore request that the matter be referred to the committee responsible. There is a long tradition of political campaigning through boycotts: Barclays over South Africa, Nestlé over breast milk substitutes and Shell over both Brent Spar and Kabinda. I find it staggering that the European Parliament forces us to be gagged in this way, without the appropriate committee being consulted. I therefore ask that you refer the matter to the appropriate committee for urgent consideration."@en1
