13.4. Removal of fins of sharks on board vessels (A7-0295/2012 - Maria do Céu Patrão Neves) (vote)

Before the vote:

  Roberta Angelilli (PPE). – (IT) Mr President, this toy shark that was distributed with the report is made in China and does not have the EU mark that it should have under the applicable legislation. Both Parliament and the Commission have made much progress on toy safety, so I believe that it is wrong to circulate such products.

  President. − Ms Angelilli, important though this matter may be, your comments did not relate to a point of order. I will now cut off any speaker whose comments do not relate to a point of order.

  Antonello Antinoro (PPE). – (IT) Mr President, I would like to point out to the members of my group that there is a minus sign next to Amendment 14 to this report, whereas the sign should be a plus. I simply wish to underline this error.
