- Après le vote:

  Arne Gericke (ECR). – Madam President, it is a little late, but I just wanted to say that today is the official global day of parents. Today was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly 2012 and honours parents throughout the world. The global day provides an opportunity to appreciate all parents in all parts of the world for their selfless commitment to children and their lifelong sacrifice towards nurturing this relationship.

So, Madam President, as a sign of honour, and with your permission, I would kindly ask all in Parliament who are parents to stand up on their special day.

  La Présidente. – Monsieur Gericke, il ne s’agit pas d’une motion d’ordre. Nous appécions votre hommage aux parents et, d’ailleurs, on peut également ne pas être parent.
