Verbatim report of proceedings

Wednesday, 28 September 2005 - Strasbourg

7. Opening of negotiations with Turkey

- Before the vote on Amendment 5:

  Giorgos Dimitrakopoulos (PPE-DE). – (EL) Mr President, I should like to request an addendum to Amendment 5, the correct amendment tabled by Mr Lambrinidis. As I have the English text in front of me, I shall read the addendum in English. At the end, after the phrase 'under the protocol', I should like the phrase 'and should not be sent to the Grand National Assembly for ratification' to be added.

- Before the vote on paragraph 6:

  Jan Marinus Wiersma (PSE). – Mr President, I have a simple amendment to replace the words 'as soon as possible', in paragraph 6, with the words 'at an early stage in the negotiating process'.

IN THE CHAIR: MR VIDAL-QUADRAS ROCA
Vice-President
