Verbatim report of proceedings

Wednesday, 15 December 2010 - Strasbourg

9.6. Presentation of the Commission work programme for 2011 (B7-0688/2010) (vote)

- Before the vote on Amendment 7:

  Doris Pack (PPE). – (DE) Mr President, I would like the end of this amendment to be reworded. The wording is very negative and I would like it to read as follows:

The initiative “Youth on the Move” underlines the importance of the above mentioned programmes.

(Parliament agreed to accept the oral amendment)

- Before the vote on Amendment 14:

  József Szájer (PPE). - Mr President, I just want to say that we are withdrawing Amendment 14.

- Before the vote on Amendment 16:

  Hannes Swoboda (S&D). – (DE) Mr President, this is about the Union for the Mediterranean. We know that it has currently come to a standstill and that we want to revive it. The wording does not express this clearly enough, so we would like to insert the following text:

The current stalemate of the Union for the Mediterranean.

(DE) I know that there is a contradiction here. Perhaps another wording would be possible, but the wording we are proposing is:

The current stalemate of the Union for the Mediterranean.

(Parliament rejected the oral amendment)
