1. Opening of the sitting

(The sitting was opened at 9.05 a.m.)

  President. You wish to take the floor, Mr Carnero González. I imagine that it is for a point of order. On the basis of which Rule do you wish to speak?

  Carlos Carnero González (PSE). – (ES) Yes, Mr President, I simply wished to mention the fact that the media is reporting that a European citizen, of Spanish nationality, Mr Emilio Morenatti, has been kidnapped in Gaza this morning by a group of armed men. I would ask that you call upon the Presidency of the Council and the Commission to do everything they can …

(The President cut off the speaker)

  President. That is not a point of order. I understand your concern, but the Rules of Procedure must be respected. I take good note of what you say, thank you.
