1. Approval of the Minutes of the previous sitting
President. – The Minutes of yesterday’s sitting have been distributed.
Are there any comments?
Berger (PSE). – (DE) Mr President, with your permission, I should like to draw your attention to an inconsistency between the Minutes and the lists of roll-call votes. Yesterday, we voted on the resolution on the Feira Summit and many colleagues will recall that – to laughter from many in this House – the Austrian Members of Haider’s party voted in favour of two amendments which were very critical of Austria and then, some time later, took the floor and said that they had made a mistake and wanted their votes to be registered as votes against. This correction – that is, that they voted against – is accurately reflected in the Minutes but, obviously in part thanks to their party headquarters’ intervening, the names of these Members do not appear anywhere in the record of the roll-call vote taken on Amendment No 4. I would therefore request that the lists of roll-call votes be corrected so that they correspond to the events which we all witnessed here. The Minutes are correct in this respect. It would also be desirable to clarify how many corrections to the corrections we Members are entitled to submit.
President. – I take note of your comment, Mrs Berger.
Van Orden (PPE-DE). – Mr President, during the debate on common security and defence policy there was a roll call vote on Amendment No 36. However, yesterday's Minutes refers to the wrong paragraph and thus the vote does not reflect what actually took place in this Chamber. I have not had a chance to look in detail at this voting list, but that is one mistake I have spotted already. I should like to draw that to your attention.
President. – Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We shall verify this and rectify it, if necessary.
