lpv:translated text	"Once again, the European Parliament has just voted for a working schedule for 2005 in which there are no Strasbourg sittings on Fridays. Of course, I voted against. What we are actually waiting for the French Government to do – and we have been waiting in vain for years – is to go to the Court of Justice to enforce the Treaty. I should like to remind you of what I have said a thousand times before in other explanations of vote: the arguments are good ones. First, the European Parliament is not a sovereign assembly and it must adhere to the Treaty, as the Court of Justice has acknowledged. Second, it has also acknowledged that, in the protocol establishing the seats of the institutions, which refers to ‘the twelve periods of monthly plenary sessions’ of the European Parliament, the article ‘the’ means the sittings as they were held at the time the decision was taken. This included five days of monthly sittings, including Friday. Consequently, we must lodge an appeal on this matter, especially since the European Parliament is now so overloaded with work."@en1
