"Mr President, my point of order is based on Rule 182 of the Rules of Procedure. We have just received information for the first time about the election of the committee bureaux. This election of the committee bureaux was arranged by a conference of the group secretaries-general, which, on the basis of the D’Hondt rule, arrived at a proportional distribution of seats, enabling it to ensure that all views are represented – a point on which this Parliament prides itself both internally and externally and on which it does not fail to give advice to political bodies worldwide. No one challenged this agreement, especially not at the Conference of Presidents. It has been outrageously violated – as one might certainly have expected – to the detriment of my group, and of my group alone. It is quite clear that my group has not put forward any candidates, including against fellow Communist, Socialist, Liberal and Christian-Democrat Members, because it believes or it pretended to believe in honesty, in impartiality and in promises being kept by fellow Members. Obviously, these promises were not kept. These tactics are vile, they are petty and they are unworthy of a Parliament that claims to set an example for the whole world. To be truthful, fraudulent tactics are being employed here, and are such as to undermine the integrity of the election. We take note of that, and we reserve the right to exercise our rights by any other means and, in particular, to call on the citizens of our countries to act as witnesses. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for the publicity that you have just given us!"@en1
