Madam President, due to the absence of two dozen Members and the request for the quorum which we would have established without any difficulty, our Group yesterday chose to refrain from preventing the Buitenweg report from being put to the vote when this would have been quite possible. According to the agenda, the vote should have taken place today since the amendments were not put to the House in time yesterday.
Fru formand, vores gruppe undlod i går at forhindre afstemningen om Buitenweg-betænkningen, hvilket ellers havde været let, på grund af fraværet af to dusin parlamentsmedlemmer og anmodningen om at få konstateret, om der var et beslutningsdygtigt flertal til stede, hvilket vi uden videre kunne have haft succes med. Afstemningen skulle ifølge forretningsordenen have fundet sted i dag, eftersom ændringsforslagene ikke forelå rettidigt i går.
