"The proposal for a decision under consideration concerns the numerical strength of the standing committees of the European Parliament and was tabled pursuant to Article 183 of the Rules of Procedure, which reads as follows: ‘On a proposal from the Conference of Presidents, Parliament shall set up standing committees whose powers shall be defined in an annex to these Rules of Procedure. Their members shall be elected during the first part-session following the re-election of Parliament and again two and a half years thereafter’. The entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon following Parliament’s elections in 2009, or rather on 1 December 2009, led to only 736 members being elected, in accordance with the Treaty of Nice, and not 751 as had been previously agreed. There were therefore 18 members who found themselves unable to fully exercise their duties, particularly in Parliament’s various committees, since they had to wait for the amendment of Protocol No 36 to the Treaty of Lisbon. Since there is a need to speed up procedures and give continuity to the work carried out by these committees, I am voting for the proposal for a decision on the numerical strength of the standing committees of the European Parliament."@en1
