"Mr President, in accordance with Rule 177(4) of our Rules of Procedure, I would like to propose that we adjourn this calendar vote for a period of three months. My reason is that we do not need to take a decision on this now. We only received the Court judgment on 13 December 2012. Most Members have not yet had a chance to study that judgment properly. Why is this calendar being pushed through now in such a rush? There has been no opportunity to examine the judgment properly. There has been no opportunity to get any legal opinions on what the judgment actually means. You, Mr President, have decided in your wisdom to rule out of order any calendar amendments that propose moving either for or against the period of four days, either more or less four days. In my opinion that is not in the legal opinion from the Court. I would like to see your legal justification for doing that. I have had no opportunity to see it. Most Members here have not seen the new calendar. No copies of it have been sent round. It is only available on the website so I ask again: why is this being pushed forward in such a hurry? Finally, repeatedly, a large majority in this Chamber have voted for us to spend less time here in Strasbourg, saving both time, money and carbon emissions. We agree that we have to comply with the judgment, but we are asking for a reasonable delay in the proposal, allowing you, Mr President, to think again about your judgment, allowing the Conference of Presidents to think again about its proposal and perhaps – you never know – allowing the Council to put an end finally to this travelling circus."@en1
