lpv:spoken text	"I apologise, Mr President, I should like to make a point of order under Rule 162. As I was saying, in ten years' service I cannot recall a similar instance to that with which we are faced today. We consistently demand of the Council and the Commission openness and transparency in political decisions ... … and it is an extraordinary practice for Members of this House to ask for a secret ballot on a political decision under Rule 162, which is designed for the appointment of individuals. How can we be accountable to our electors? How can we defend ourselves against charges of shame and hypocrisy? Mr President, I urge you to face down this ramshackle coalition of cowards and autocrats, … … to declare a secret vote inadmissible on the grounds that it is unworthy of this House and to seek an early change to the Rules of Procedure to clarify this Rule."@en1
