"Madam President, this evening my report on promoting social inclusion and combating poverty, including child poverty, is the last item on the agenda. This is an own initiative report which is being handled according to Rules 131 a and 45 of our Rules of Procedure on short presentations in plenary, i.e. in a presentation without open debate by Members and without the opportunity to propose amendments.
I object to this self-limitation of the rights of Members of the European Parliament and call for us as the European Parliament to change these rules. It is wrong for important matters such as combating poverty and social exclusion not to be discussed openly here. All the same, the committee has debated intensely and made 200 amendments and 40 compromise amendments.
It is a matter of public interest and we are denying ourselves some of our own rights when we forego discussing it here in plenary."@en1
