President. – Pursuant to Rules 10 and 183 of the Rules of Procedure, and after taking into account the observations of the Member concerned, I have decided to impose a penalty on Diana Iovanovici Şoşoacă for having disrupted the sitting of 18 July 2024 by behaving improperly during the debate between the Members of the European Parliament and the candidate for President of the European Commission.
This penalty consists of the forfeiture of her entitlement to the daily subsistence allowance for a period of seven days, as well as a temporary suspension from participation in plenary activities of Parliament for a period of seven days on which Parliament meets, starting today, 8 October 2024, without prejudice to her right to vote in plenary and subject to strict compliance with the Members' standards of conduct.
The Member concerned has been notified of these decisions and lodged an internal appeal with the Bureau under Rule 184. The Bureau, at its meeting of yesterday evening, confirmed the penalty imposed, without prejudice to the external rights of appeal open to the Member concerned. The penalty is therefore considered final.
