Vice-President

10.   Approval of Minutes of previous sitting

The Minutes of the previous sitting were approved.

11.   Request for the defence of parliamentary immunity

At its meeting of 14 September 2005, the Committee on Legal Affairs considered the request to uphold the parliamentary immunity of Jean-Charles Marchiani, a former Member of the European Parliament, in the context of legal proceedings under way before the Paris Tribunal de Grande Instance. The request had been referred to Parliament on 8 September 2005.

After a briefing from Mr Speroni, the Committee on Legal Affairs,

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | having noted, in its resolution of 5 July 2005, that the European Parliament had asked for the French Court of Cassation's judgment of 16 March 2005 to be annulled or overturned, and at all events for it to cease to have any practical or legal effects; and that the Court had failed to apply Article 10 a) of the Protocol on the privileges and immunities of the European Communities, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | asked the President to bring to the attention of the French authorities the fact that if the Paris Tribunal de Grande Instance, which was due to hand down its judgment on the case on 3 October 2005, were to convict Mr Marchiani on the basis of illegally obtained — and therefore inadmissible — evidence taken from intercepted telephone conversations during Mr Marchiani's term of office as a Member of the European Parliament, the French Republic would be contravening primary Community law. |
