Louis Grech (PSE). – Mr President, for purposes of clarification, I wish to add the words ‘at the time’ after the word ‘Commission’, so now Amendment 7 would read, ‘notes that prior to the accession to the European Union, the Maltese Government stated that it had negotiated a derogation on spring hunting with the Commission; regrets that the despite the fact that other political forces and segments of civil society in Malta had challenged the Maltese Government’s statements, the Commission at the time opted to remain silent on the subject, thus bringing about a potentially ambivalent situation’.

– Vor der Abstimmung über Änderungsantrag 12:
Simon Busuttil (PPE-DE). – Mr President, our group wanted to request a roll-call vote on amendment 12, but unfortunately we failed to do so in time. I therefore ask the House to allow a roll-call vote on amendment 12, even though we did not request it in time. I am sure that my colleague Monica Frassoni will not object.
