"Thank you for your comments, Mr Podestà. You will be aware from our meeting of the Conference of Presidents last week – which you attended – that I have asked the services to undertake to review your very detailed correspondence with me regarding the Rules of Procedure and their application. Since my arrival here today – a journey which always takes some time, in spite of early departure – I have not had the opportunity to see a note on this matter that has been prepared for the meeting of the relevant committee this evening. I am not in a position at this moment to give a ruling on admissibility. However, the initial advice I have received – before the services have had an opportunity to study your lengthy letter to me in depth – seems to suggest that the report may be admissible, although there are elements that need to be looked at carefully. We have asked the Committee on Citizens' Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs to meet this evening to consider the issues raised by the Rules-related observations you have made, and to consider around 350 amendments. I want to make it perfectly clear that under the Rules we do not have time this week to take a report with that number of amendments. That is why I for one want the committee to meet and consider the issue. If I have understood correctly, you have asked for a referral back to committee and therefore a removal of this item from the agenda. If that is indeed your request then I will take one speaker for and one against and we would then have a vote. However, Mr Podestà, if you are prepared to wait for the committee to meet this evening to consider the question as it relates to the Rules and admissibility, and to consider the question of the number of amendments, then we could proceed to invite our colleagues on the committee to discuss those issues later today. Mr Podestà, do you now wish to make a request to refer back, or are you satisfied that this should be dealt with today in committee?"@en1
