lpv:translated text	". Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to continue along the lines already set out by Mr Pannella and I would ask the Presidency to give a reply, if possible. I would like to know why the Presidency has withdrawn the request or the proposal to establish a European Day on the death penalty. It is not written anywhere that this is a decision that must be taken unanimously. If you can quote me a rule where this is stipulated, I would be grateful – although since we are talking about political cooperation, I am fully convinced that if you had wanted to, you would have been able to force a vote and obtain an overwhelming majority, minus one. I believe that that would have been a great day for Europe. Thus, an opportunity has been wasted. Secondly, I too am very confused, Mr Antunes, about your reconstruction of the sad history of the various tablings and withdrawals of resolutions for a moratorium. I would like you to answer a specific question: since you, as the Portuguese Presidency, have decided to act practically alone, excluding other countries such as my own from the United Nations negotiations – but that is not an issue for this forum – I would like to know when you are tabling the resolution. This too is unclear, and if you table it too late it will be utterly useless. Thirdly, you said two things that worried me slightly. I was up in my room because I had a problem, but I listened to it in the original, in your marvellous language. You said that it was necessary to have flexibility and to leave room for manoeuvre, and that is something that worried me greatly. What do you mean? Also, you spoke of the so-called front that seeks abolition and does not have any great belief in a moratorium. This is even more worrying because it is precisely because of this false dichotomy that we have lost so far. Therefore, I would like you to give us some specific answers, and I hope that these answers will be forthcoming."@en1
