Van den Bos (ELDR), rapporteur. –(NL) Mr President, as rapporteur, I would not like to see any ambiguity left about one section in the decision-making process. I should therefore like to urge you to consider complying with the EPP's request and permitting, at this stage, an oral vote on point 16. I appreciate that you would then have to go back on a decision, but I should nevertheless like to urge you to treat this report in such a way as to leave no misunderstanding or uncertainty on this matter at all. I would therefore make an urgent appeal to you now to honour the request.
