(Parliament adopted the motion for a resolution)

⁂

Joint motion for a resolution on Bhopal (RC – B6-0216/2004)

Before the vote:

  Martínez Martínez (PSE). – (ES) Mr President, I simply wished to point out that there is a mistake in the voting list circulated to the Socialist Group in the European Parliament. As regards the amendments on Bhopal, we voted against the first of these and in favour of the other three.

  Roithová (PPE-DE). (CS) I should like to note that my card has still not been registered and is refusing to work. I wished to vote in favour.

  President. Your comment has been noted.

(Parliament adopted the joint resolution)

  Rübig (PPE-DE). – (DE) Mr President, I would like to raise another point of order. Yesterday, we were voting until 2 p.m. It has in fact always been the custom of this House to vote between noon and 1.30 p.m., because we do of course have a lot of lunchtime commitments and we end up keeping our guests waiting. I would therefore ask the Bureau to make it a rule – as it was in the previous legislative period – that voting ends at 1.30 p.m.

I would also like to take the opportunity to wish all those present in the Chamber a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

  President. Thank you for your comment, Mr Rübig.
