i would like to thank you and clear up a misunderstanding |
the president is entitled to allow an mep to ask a question of the commission |
i wanted to ask the commissioner a question and also answer a question that you asked of mr mayer i wanted to say that in the spring there will be a large beer tasting session for bavarian beer in the parliament courtyard here in strasbourg |
mr posselt i am very pleased but in any case i would remind you that when requesting a procedural motion you actually have to indicate the rule to which you are referring |
having said that parliament has reached the end of the agenda |
the minutes of the present sitting will be subject to parliament' s approval at the beginning of the next part session |
mr manders has the floor for a procedural motion |
mr president i would like to take this opportunity to wish you the bureau and all members a good transition into the new year |
ladies and gentlemen before you leave me alone i would like on behalf of the bureau once again to thank all the members all the services officials assistants and other co workers and if you will allow me although all the co workers work for us perhaps a special mention should go to the language services which help us to understand each other here |
i would also like although they are absent to mention the commission and the council |
i am not going to re open the 'millennium or not the millennium' debate but i am going to wish all of you and by extension all the citizens of europe which we represent a happy year 2000 |
adjournment of the session |
i declare the session of the european parliament adjourned |
(the sitting was closed at 1050 am) |
