"I thank all colleagues who have contributed to that exchange of views. A number of you have remarked how several different committees and resolutions over recent weeks and months have indicated the probability of going to the Court of Justice, of which I have been aware as I have keenly followed the issue. However, the event which triggered the referral to the Court was the letter of last Wednesday afternoon, which I received from Mr Gargani on behalf of the Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market. This is the first time I have had the duty and opportunity, as President, to look into the question.
In light of the exchange of views, I propose that we proceed to the debate in substance tomorrow. We will hear what Commissioner Patten has to say, along with the opinions of different colleagues. In the light of all the available information, the vote will take place at noon on Wednesday. That brings us to within 24 hours of our ultimate deadline in terms of our right to refer to the Court, so we are still working within the time limits that apply here.
***
Because of the volume of business this week, we have added an extra sitting tonight. I suggest that those colleagues who wish to make a 'one-minute speech' submit what they wanted to say in writing, and I will try to follow up on their comments. For anyone who insists on speaking, the Rules provide that the item can be taken later in the sitting. I therefore propose to take the item at the end of business this evening, rather than at this stage."@en1
