"Mr President, as rapporteur of one of the three reports about which we are supposedly deciding at this juncture, I would like to give Mr Rapkay’s motion my support. In my opinion, this has been a truly unique incident. The European Council is not competent to legislate under the Treaties. I would just like to expand on what Mr Rapkay had to say. If the European Council starts to legislate in its midnight sittings, it clearly results in nonsense. I say that, because deleting Articles 6-8 robs this proposal of its core subject matter. The fact is that we even got it clearly confirmed during our cooperation with the Legal Service and in consultations with experts in the field that we could only use this legal basis for the intellectual property rights if we also regulated intellectual property rights, in other words, if we also established patent claims. This was, of course, discussed both internally and with the Council over months, and then, at the behest of a single Head of State or Government, these three core fields were deleted at midnight. If we adopted this as the Council wants, the result would be that we would most likely be facing a crash test before the European Court of Justice at the first referral order. That is indefensible. Parliamentary debates have a point, they are where the proper time is taken to discuss dossiers meticulously, the proper consideration given, and clear results produced. You cannot pick a fight with such a procedure. That is why this item needs to be taken off the agenda today."@en1
