"Mr President, rules of procedure form the basis of all work in a democratically elected House. Clear rules ensure that everyone participating in the political process is treated equally. You cannot change the requirements in order to keep certain groups, persons or attitudes from having influence. You cannot bend the rules just because it suits you to do so.
In the past week, for example, the Conference of Presidents discussed an application to circumvent the vote on the Staes report. Fortunately, the Legal Service rejected this. The result of a vote must stand. Consequently, my group, too, has tabled amendments that would make all voting electronic. This would enable us to avoid mistakes and at the same time ensure that we have a quorum. I call upon the Members to vote in favour of these amendments."@en1
