17. Order of business

The next item was the order of business.

The following spoke:

— Mr Zeller who referred to the enlarged Bureau's
decision to hold special meetings, open to all members,
to deal with Council and Commission statements, and

wondered whether this decision was in agreement with
the Rules of Procedure; he asked for the matter to be
referred to the Committee on the Rules of Procedure
(the President replied that this decision had been taken
by the enlarged Bureau in compliance with Rule 24);

— Mr McCartin, who asked under Rule 56 that the
President of the Commission make a statement on the
Commission's negotiating brief (the President drew his
attention to the provisions of Rule 74 (1));

— Mr Titley, who protested at statements made by
the chairman of Parliament's Delegation for Relations
with the Gulf States and the Gulf Cooperation Council
at a press conference to the effect that the Commission
was willing to speed up the cooperation agreement process, but that this would imply the loss of a number of
jobs in the Community.

The President announced that the draft agenda for that
part-session (PE 144.752) had been distributed, and
that the following changes had been made or proposed
to it (Rules 73 and 74):

_Monday, 8 October 1990:_

the second Gil-Robles report on the request for the
waiver of Mr Le Pen's immunity (Item 223) had not
been tabled by the committee responsible and had
therefore been withdrawn from the agenda;

at the request of the EDA Group, their oral questions
with debate to the Commission on forgery in the world
(B 3-1506/90) and on negotiations within GATT on the
international commercial aspects of trade-related intellectual property measures (TRIPS) (B 3-1507/90) had
been included in the debate on the Stavrou report on
GATT (A 3-0215/90).

_Tuesday, 9 Ocotber:_

to enable Mr De Michelis, _President-in-Office of the_
_Council,_ to speak in the debate on the Romeos report
on the CSCE (A 3-0226/90), the first two items on the
draft agenda had been interchanged, with the result
that the Romeos report would now be taken before the
joint debate on the Ford report (A 3-0195/90) and the
two oral questions on racism and xenophobia (Items
227 and 228);

at the request of the RB Group, their oral question with
debate to the Commission (B 3-1508/90) had been
included in the debate on the Romeos report.

The following spoke:

— Mr Ford, who pointed out that the President had
not mentioned as being included in the debate the oral

No C 284/16 Official Journal of the European Communities 12. 11.90

Monday, 8 October 1990

question with debate tabled by the RB Group to EPC
(B 3-1516/90) (the President replied that the matter
would be investigated);

— Mr Langer, who asked that oral questions 0-268
and 0-269/90 on CSCE also be included in the debate
(the President replied that this too would be looked
into);

— Mr Wijsenbeek, who referred to earlier debates on
racism and xenophobia and expressed surprise at the
fact that Mr Ford would be allowed to speak first in
Tuesday's debate although Mr Nordmann was the first
signatory of the oral questions included in the joint
debate (the President replied that the enlarged Bureau
had discussed the matter and a broad consensus had
been reached);

— Mr Nordmann, on Mr Wijsenbeek's comments,
who asked that the Rules of Procedure be always
applied in the same way, and that account be taken of
precedents;

— Mr Ford, Mrs Roth, Mr Gollnisch and Mr Galland, on Mr Wijsenbeek's comments (the President
pointed out that Mr Ford would have five minutes'
speaking time in his capcity as rapporteur and that the
first signatory of the oral questions would have the
same speaking time).

— the ED Group had asked for a statement from the
Council under Rule 56 on the informal meeting held by
the Foreign Minsters in Venice.

Mr Jackson spoke.

Parliament agreed by electronic vote to include this
item on the agenda subject, of course, to the agreement
of the Council (it would be entered after the debate on
the Romeos report).

the group chairmen had decided to propose the inclusion, in joint debate with the oral question by Mr Van
Outrive to the Council on the cooperation procedure
(B 3-1322/90), of an oral question by Mr Prag, on
behalf of the ED Group to the Council on the same
subject. In the meantime, the ED Group had asked for
this item to be deleted from the agenda. [! ]

Mr Prag spoke.

Parliament rejected the ED Group's request by electronic vote (there were now two oral questions on the
agenda).

at the request of the Committee on Social Affairs and
the SOC Group, the Nianias report on the elderly
(A 3-0222/90) scheduled for Friday as Item 255 had
been brought forward and entered after the joint debate
on the three reports of the Committee on Social Affairs
(Items 236 to 238).

Mr de Vitto protested at the lack of consideration being
shown with regard to the position of the report on the
agenda and asked that it be held over to the next partsession.

Mr Galland spoke on the request.

Parliament rejected the request.

the vote on the request for an early vote on the motions
for resolutions to wind up the debate on the Commission statement on Rover _(part I, item 7 of minutes of_ _14_
_September_ _1990)_ was included at voting time at noon.

Question Time to the Council and EPC, scheduled to
be held from 3 to 4.30 p.m., would now be held from
5.30 to 7 p.m. so as not to split the debate on racism.

_Wednesday, 10 October:_

— the LDR Group had asked that the debate on
cooperation with the countries of Easter Europe be
held in the presence of the Council, before the joint
debate on the Herman report and six oral questions on
economic and monetary union.

Mr Giscard d'Estaing spoke on behalf of the LDR
Group.

Parliament rejected the request.

two oral questions to the Commission on economic
and monetary union were included in the joint debate
on the Herman report and six oral questions on the
same subject: the first by the ED Group (B 3-1512/90)
and the second by the EDA Group (B 3-1513/90), the
latter withdrawing their oral question B 3-1319/90
(item 179); the group chairmen had proposed that the
authors of questions should not be accorded any speaking time in order to allow more time for the debates;

as the Council was unable to be present for the joint
debate on cooperation with the countries of Eastern
Europe (items 241 and 242), the oral question with
debate put to it (B 3-1503/90) was withdrawn, but the
following oral questions to the Commission were
added:

by the SOC Group (B 3-1509/90) on financial aid for
Central and Eastern Europe,

by the Green Group (B 3-1511/90) on the association
agreement with Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary,

by the EPP Group (B 3-1514/90) on cooperation with
the countries of Central and Eastern Europe.

The following spoke:

— Mr Donnelly on the British Government's decision
to join the EMS; he asked that the Council and Commission make statements on this decision (the President replied that his request should have been submitted at least an hour before the opening of the sitting);

12. 11.90 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 284/17

Monday, 8 October 1990

— Mr B. Simpson on a technical matter relating to
the interpreting of Members' speeches;

— Mr de la Malene who protested at the President's
announcement to the effect that authors of oral questions included in the joint debate on economic and
monetary union would have no speaking time (the
President replied that this was merely a proposal made
by the group chairmen).

_Thursday, 11 October:_

The following spoke:

— Mr Klepsch on the previous speaker's comments;
he asked that the oral question with debate on the
implementation of the Community budget for 1990
(item 249) be brought forward and taken as the first
item on Thursday afternoon (the President agreed to
this);

— Mr White on the Commission's timetable for the
week;

— Mr McGowan who asked that the Commission
make a statement on the Community's relations with
South Africa;

— Mr Collins who protested at the number of
requests for additions to the agenda;

— Mrs Vayssade who asked that the Sarlis report
(A 3-0239/90) be referred back to committee under
Rule 103 as the Legal Affairs Committee had been
asked to give an opinion on the legal basis which was
being contested by the committee responsible.

Parliament agreed to this request.

at 3 p.m., the Commission would make a statement on
speculation on oil prices;

this would be followed by a further Commission statement on Goodman;

at the request of the Committee on Development, the
Saby report on food aid (A 3-0214/90) would be taken
without debate, and put to the vote on Friday;

the Commission statement on the transport of nuclear
waste by ferry (item 250) would be followed by a further statement on the storage and processing of nuclear
waste at Dounreay.

_Friday, 12 October:_

— the LU Group had asked for a Commission statement on trade relations between EEC countries and
third countries in the automobile sector, particularly
following the recent negotiations between the Commission and Japan.

Mr Wurtz spoke on behalf of the LU Group.

Parliament rejected the request.

The following spoke:

— Mr Schodruch, who enquired when his report
would be debated;

— Mr Wurtz, on the decision just taken by Parliament; he proposed that the Commission make a statement of its own accord during that part-session or the
next;

— the LDR Group had asked that the Presidency
make a statement on the decisions (notably after the
meetings of 20 September and 1 and 2 October) relating
to the preparations for the conference of parliaments of
the European Community.

The President pointed out that the matter was under
consideration in the enlarged Bureau.

Mr Giscard d'Estaing spoke on behalf of the LDR
Group to ask for the Assembly to be informed of decisions taken in connection with preparation for the
Conference of Parliaments of the Community and that
discussion should not be restricted to the enlarged
Bureau.

The President expressed the view that, rather than have
a statement, it would be preferable to bring the matter
before the House by means of a motion for a resolution
from the political groups and that until then, the question would remain with the enlarged Bureau.

Mr Anastassopoulos spoke on the length of time
devoted to debating the agenda.

The order of business was thus established.

_Requests for application of the procedure without debate_
(Rule 38)

— to the second P. Beazley report (first reading) on
the equipment of motor vehicles (A 3-0220/90) (it
would be put to the vote at 5 p.m. on Wednesday);

— to the De Donnea report on generalized tariff preferences (A 3-0225/90) (it would be put to the vote at
the beginning of Friday morning);

— to the Saby report on the apportionment of cereals
provided as food aid (A 3-0214/90) (item 248) (it would
be put to the vote at the beginning of Friday morning).

_Requests for application of urgent procedure_ (Rule 75)

Council a proposal for a regulation which, in view of
recent events, urgently required a decision.

with the Seychelles (C 3-0106/90) (the Committee on
Agriculture had already adopted the Lataillade report

Parliament would be consulted on the requests for
urgent procedure at the beginning of Tuesday's sitting.

18. Deadlines for tabling amendments and motions for

amendments to the reports on the agenda had expired.

Regarding the oral questions with debate which had
