By writ of summons of 22 February 2007, Mr Costa summoned Claudio Fava and the other defendants to appear before the Court in order to answer to a claim for them to be ordered to pay, jointly and severally or individually, such amount as the Court should consider just as compensation for statements they made on 16 November 2006 during the TV programme ‘Annozero’ broadcast by the State television channel RAI 2 , which, that evening, was devoted to Sicily.

The committee's report may, exceptionally, propose that the waiver of immunity shall apply solely to prosecution proceedings and that, until a final sentence is passed, the Member should be immune from any form of detention or remand or any other measure which prevents him from performing the duties proper to his mandate.

Indeed, since none of the six founding Member States of the European Communities which considered the wording of those articles grant immunity to their national parliamentarians in connection with civil proceedings, it is difficult to give credence to the notion that the representatives of those six Member States intended to grant Members of the European Parliament privileges which were broader in scope than those accorded to their own national parliamentarians.

In March 1987, Parliament went so far as to propose an amendment to the Commission draft text revising the Protocol on Privileges and Immunities with a view to clarifying the provision in question by expressly restricting the immunity of MEPs to criminal proceedings and measures involving the withdrawal or restriction of individual freedom

– като взе предвид доклада на комисията по правни въпроси ( A6‑0008/2006 ),
– having regard to the report of the Committee on Legal Affairs ( A6‑0008/2008 ),
A. като има предвид, че Witold Tomczak е избран за депутат в полския парламент (Сейма) на 21 септември 1997 г. и на 23 септември 2001 г.; като има предвид, че след подписването на договора за присъединяване на 16 април 2003 г. той е станал наблюдател; като има предвид, че той е бил член на Европейския парламент от 1 май 2004 г. до 19 юли 2004 г; като има предвид, че той е избран за член на Европейския парламент на 13 юни 2004 г. и неговият мандат в полския парламент е изтекъл на 16 юни 2004 г.,
A. whereas Witold Tomczak was elected to the Polish Parliament (Sejm) on 21 September 1997 and on 23 September 2001; whereas after the signature of the Accession Treaty on 16 April 2003 he became an Observer; whereas he was a Member of the European Parliament from 1 May 2004 until 19 July 2004; whereas he was elected to the European Parliament on 13 June 2004 and his term of office in the Polish Parliament expired on 16 June 2004,
Б. като има предвид, че Witold Tomczak е обвинен в обида на двама полицейски служители при изпълнение на техните служебни задължения в Ostrów Wielkopolski на 26 юни 1999 г. в нарушение на член 226, параграф 1 от полския наказателен кодекс; като има предвид, че след няколко неявявания на Witold Tomczak на съдебните заседания, районният съд в Ostrów Wielkopolski реши на 10 януари 2005 г., в съответствие с член 377, параграф 3 от полския наказателно-процесуален кодекс, да даде ход на процеса в отсъствието на обвиняемия,
B. whereas Witold Tomczak is charged with insulting two police officers in the performance of their duties in Ostrów Wielkopolski on 26 June 1999 in breach of Article 226(1) of the Polish Penal Code; whereas after a number of failures by Witold Tomczak to appear at the hearings, the District Court in Ostrów Wielkopolski decided on 10 January 2005, in accordance with Article 377(3) of the Polish Code of Criminal Procedure, to proceed with the trial in absentia,
В. като има предвид, че съгласно член 9 от Закона от 23 януари 2004 г. относно избори за Европейския парламент " Едно лице има право да се кандидатира на изборите за Европейския парламент, провеждани в Република Полша, ако не е осъждано за престъпление с умишлен характер и не му е предявено обвинение... "; като има предвид, че член 142, параграф 1, алинея 1 от този закон гласи, че " Загубата на право за кандидатиране води до загуба на мястото на член в Европейския парламент "; като има предвид, че подобни разпоредби не съществуват в Закона от 12 април 2001 г. относно избори за Сейма и Сената на Република Полша (полския парламент),
C. whereas, in accordance with Article 9 of the Act of 23 January 2004 on elections to the European Parliament, " A person shall be eligible for elections to the European Parliament held in the Republic of Poland if he or she [...] has not been convicted of a crime committed intentionally and prosecuted by indictment ... " ; whereas Article 142, paragraph 1(1) of that Act states that " The forfeiture of a seat of a Member of the European Parliament shall be a result of forfeiture of eligibility "; whereas no such provisions exist in the Act of 12 April 2001 on elections to the Sejm and Senat of the Republic of Poland (the Polish parliament),
Г. като има предвид, че Witold Tomczak и преди (на 29 април 2005 г.) е искал от Парламента да защити неговия имунитет в това наказателно производство; като има предвид, че Парламентът реши на пленарно заседание от 4 април 2006 г. да не защити неговия имунитет, въпреки че г-н Tomczak преди заседанието изпрати писмо, с което дава да се разбере, че оттегля молбата си за защита на неговия имунитет,
D. whereas Witold Tomczak had previously (on 29 April 2005) asked Parliament to defend his immunity in these criminal proceedings; whereas Parliament decided in plenary on 4 April 2006 not to defend his immunity, even though Mr Tomczak had sent a letter prior to the plenary sitting by which he purported to withdraw his earlier application for defence of his immunity,
Д. като има предвид, че Witold Tomczak твърди, че съдията по делото не е обективен и че възможността процесът да се проведе в отсъствието на обвиняемия нарушава принципа на презумпцията за невинност;
E. whereas Witold Tomczak claims that the judge presiding in the case is not objective, and that the possibility of holding the trial in absentia infringes the principle of the presumption of innocence,
Е. като има предвид, че Witold Tomczak се жалва, че районният съд не му дава достъп до документацията по случая и че наказателното производство срещу него е пристрастно, защото той се е опитал да оспори законосъобразността на действията на местната полиция и на местния прокурор;
F. whereas Witold Tomczak complains that the District Court is not granting him access to the files in the case and that the criminal proceedings against him are biased because he sought to challenge the legality of the actions of local police and the local prosecutor,
Ж. като има предвид, че въз основа на получената информация Witold Tomczak не е защитен от парламентарен имунитет по отношение на никое от обвиненията, които са доведени до вниманието на председателя на Европейския парламент;
G. whereas, on the basis of the information obtained, Witold Tomczak is not protected by parliamentary immunity in respect of any of the claims which have been drawn to the attention of the President of the European Parliament,
