"Mr President, I have every sympathy for Mr Barón Crespo, but I am not clear about his conclusion. You asked a question and Mr Barón Crespo provided an explanation, but he failed to arrive at any conclusion. That is why I have risen in order to say that I will gladly endorse your proposal to hold the vote tomorrow. We are in a difficult situation with 338 amendments which are multiplying as a result of procedural issues.
I think it is important, ladies and gentlemen, to underline this point, and I make it calmly and objectively. We have already discussed this issue this morning when the sitting opened at 9 a.m. The Chairman of one of the groups claimed that the amendments come from the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats. I would like to point out that there are 338 amendments, and that not all of these amendments come from our group. We have tabled 157, which means that 181 amendments come from other people. I would ask for this fact to be noted.
I shall refrain from commenting on the quality of the report at this point as I do not wish to exacerbate the situation, but I would ask everyone to work together to achieve some kind of resolution to this difficult issue. Mr President, we know you to be a fair and objective President of this House, and if you propose that we vote on the report tomorrow at 12 noon in accordance with the procedure that you suggest, you have our support."@en1
