| Resumption of the session. |
| s-62
| I declare resumed the session of the European Parliament adjourned on Friday 17 December 1999, and I would like once again to wish you a happy new year in the hope that you enjoyed a pleasant festive period. |
| s-63
| In the meantime, I should like to observe a minute's silence, as a number of Members have requested, on behalf of all the victims concerned, particularly those of the terrible storms, in the various countries of the European Union. |
| s-64
| Please rise, then, for this minute's silence. |
| s-65
| (The House rose and observed a minute's silence). |
| s-66
| Madam President, on a point of order. |
| s-67
| You will be aware from the press and television that there have been a number of bomb explosions and killings in Sri Lanka. |
| s-68
| One of the people assassinated very recently in Sri Lanka was Mr Kumar Ponnambalam, who had visited the European Parliament just a few months ago. |
| s-69
| Would it be appropriate for you, Madam President, to write a letter to the Sri Lankan President expressing Parliament's regret at his and the other violent deaths in Sri Lanka and urging her to do everything she possibly can to seek a peaceful reconciliation to a very difficult situation? |
| s-70
| If the House agrees, I shall do as Mr Evans has suggested. |
| s-71
| Madam President, on a point of order. |
| s-72
| I would like your advice about Rule 143 concerning inadmissibility. |
| s-73
| My question relates to something that will come up on Thursday and which I will then raise again. |
| s-74
| I believe that the principle of relative stability is a fundamental legal principle of the common fisheries policy and a proposal to subvert it would be legally inadmissible. |
| s-75
| I want to know whether one can raise an objection of that kind to what is merely a report, not a legislative proposal, and whether that is something I can competently do on Thursday. |
| s-76
| that is precisely the time when you may, if you wish, raise this question, i.e. on Thursday prior to the start of the presentation of the report. |
| s-77
| Madam President, coinciding with this year's first part-session of the European Parliament, a date has been set, unfortunately for next Thursday, in Texas in America, for the execution of a young 34 year-old man who has been sentenced to death. |
| s-78
| However, I would ask you, in accordance with the line which is now constantly followed by the European Parliament and by the whole of the European Community, to make representations, using the weight of your prestigious office and the institution you represent, to the President and to the Governor of Texas, Mr Bush, who has the power to order a stay of execution and to reprieve the condemned person. |
| s-79
| This is all in accordance with the principles that we have always upheld. |
| s-80
| Thank you, Mr Segni, I shall do so gladly. |
| s-81
| Indeed, it is quite in keeping with the positions this House has always adopted. |
| s-82
| Madam President, I should like to draw your attention to a case in which this Parliament has consistently shown an interest. |
| s-83
| All of us here are pleased that the courts have acquitted him and made it clear that in Russia, too, access to environmental information is a constitutional right. |
| s-84
| Now, however, he is to go before the courts once more because the public prosecutor is appealing. |
| s-85
| We know, and we have stated as much in very many resolutions indeed, including specifically during the last plenary part-session of last year, that this is not solely a legal case and that it is wrong for Alexander Nikitin to be accused of criminal activity and treason because of our involvement as the beneficiaries of his findings. |
| s-86
| These findings form the basis of the European programmes to protect the Barents Sea, and that is why I would ask you to examine a draft letter setting out the most important facts and to make Parliament's position, as expressed in the resolutions which it has adopted, clear as far as Russia is concerned. |
| s-87
| Yes, Mrs Schroedter, I shall be pleased to look into the facts of this case when I have received your letter. |
| s-88
| Madam President, I would firstly like to compliment you on the fact that you have kept your word and that, during this first part-session of the new year, the number of television channels in our offices has indeed increased considerably. |
| s-89
| But, Madam President, my personal request has not been met. |
| s-90
| I would therefore once more ask you to ensure that we get a Dutch channel as well. |
| s-91
| Mrs Plooij-Van Gorsel, I can tell you that this matter is on the agenda for the Quaestors' meeting on Wednesday. |
| s-92
| It will, I hope, be examined in a positive light. |
| s-93
| Madam President, can you tell me why this Parliament does not adhere to the health and safety legislation that it actually passes? |
| s-94
| Why has no air quality test been done on this particular building since we were elected? |
| s-95
| Why has there been no Health and Safety Committee meeting since 1998? |
| s-96
| Why has there been no fire drill, either in the Brussels Parliament buildings or the Strasbourg Parliament buildings? |
| s-97
| Why are there no fire instructions? |
| s-98
| Why have the staircases not been improved since my accident? |
| s-99
| Why are no-smoking areas not enforced? |
| s-100
| Mrs Lynne, you are quite right and I shall check whether this has actually not been done. |
| s-101
| I shall also refer the matter to the College of Quaestors, and I am certain that they will be keen to ensure that we comply with the regulations we ourselves vote on. |
| s-102
| Madam President, Mrs Díez González and I had tabled questions on certain opinions of the Vice-President, Mrs De Palacio, which appeared in a Spanish newspaper. |
| s-103
| The competent services have not included them in the agenda on the grounds that they had been answered in a previous part-session. |
