"Madam President, I should like to request your assistance. We have a rule in this Parliament that smoking is prohibited in certain places – that includes the Chamber. We are going to debate the whole issue of tobacco in a few moments. I came in here today to be greeted by huge wafts of smoke, courtesy of Mr Brok. This is not the first time. In the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Human Rights, Common Security and Defence Policy – as Chair of that committee – he sits there smoking. This is not acceptable. It has a knock-on effect. In the last Committee on Foreign Affairs meeting that I attended, other members of the committee also started to smoke. In the interests of everyone, the rules should be respected, irrespective of the person concerned. It is extremely important that the no-smoking rules are complied with. That includes the Members. It is very disrespectful of them not to take this into account. We have some Members in this Chamber who are immediately affected by tobacco smoke, for example, Mrs Lynne, who frequently complains. Please urge the Members – in particular the Member I have mentioned – not to smoke in areas where it is forbidden."@en1
