Verbatim report of proceedings

Wednesday, 12 December 2007 - Strasbourg

3.3. Mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (vote)

- Report: Reimer Böge (A6-0485/2007)

– Before the vote:

  Reimer Böge, rapporteur. − (DE) Madam President, may I ask you to ensure that Members are seated for the vote, because we need the prescribed majorities. That is very important for the next three reports, otherwise there will be a problem tomorrow with the vote on the budget for 2008. I therefore request that you ask my fellow Members kindly to sit down and take part in the vote, otherwise we shall have a serious problem.

  President. − Thank you, Mr Böge, you are absolutely right. Can I ask those colleagues who are not yet sitting down to please come and take their seats. We have roll-call votes which require a qualified majority; they are important votes. Please, can you go to your seats?
