PROCEEDINGS OF THE SITTING

IN THE CHAIR: Hans-Gert PÖTTERING

President

1.   Resumption of the session

The sitting opened at 17.00.

2.   Statements by the President

Referendum in Ireland on the Reform Treaty

The President made the following statement:

The result of the referendum of 12 June 2008 in Ireland confronts the European Union with one of the most difficult challenges in its history. The Lisbon Reform Treaty, derived from the Constitutional Treaty, which itself was drafted by a Convention meeting in public and comprising members of national parliaments and the European Parliament, allows the European Union more democracy, greater ability to act and greater transparency. It strengthens the European Parliament, gives national parliaments more responsibility in determining the course of European policy, allows citizens of the European Union a power of initiative in relation to the European Institutions, and guarantees local self-government. The Lisbon Treaty is the answer to criticisms which citizens have levelled at the deficits of the European Union. This Treaty brings the European Union closer to its citizens. We must make it abundantly clear that the adoption of the Reform Treaty is an absolute necessity, to enable the European Union to defend its values and interests in the 21st century. Without the reforms which are made possible by the Lisbon Treaty, the accession of further countries to the European Union is hardly conceivable. We call upon the EU Summit on Thursday and Friday in Brussels to take all appropriate steps to make the Reform Treaty a reality.

The ratification process must continue without reservation. We call upon the Irish Government, for its part, to submit proposals as to how we can jointly progress beyond this difficult phase in European politics. The European Parliament will devote all its energies and display maximum commitment to overcoming these challenges. We expect the same of the European Commission and of the governments of all European Union Member States. We equally expect the European Parliament to be comprehensively involved in the work concerned. It remains our goal to see the Lisbon Treaty enter into force before the elections of June 2009 to the European Parliament. Provided that you agree to this, I shall resolutely propound these principles to the European Council on 19 and 20 June in Brussels.

15.   Change of interinstitutional classification number

The Commission had changed the interinstitutional classification number of the proposal for a Council decision in accordance with Article 122(2) of the Treaty on the adoption by Slovakia of the single currency on 1 January 2009 (COM(2008)0249 — C6-0198/2008 — 2008/0095(CNS)) (A6-0231/2008) to 2008/0092(CNS).

Council request for the application of urgent procedure (Rule 134) for:

Proposal for a Council regulation on the conclusion of the Protocol setting out the fishing opportunities and financial contribution provided for in the Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the European Community and the Islamic Republic of Mauritania for the period 1 August 2008 to 31 July 2012 [COM(2008)0243 — C6-0199/2008 — 2008/0093(CNS)]

Reason for request:

Concluding this protocol would allow the first payment of the financial contribution to be made before the end of August 2008 and thereby avoid disruption to Member States' fishing activities.

Parliament would take a decision on this request at the start of the following day's sitting (Tuesday).

17.   Order of business

The final draft agenda for the June I and II sittings (PE 408.289/PDOJ) had been distributed and a number of changes had been proposed (Rule 132):

Parliament agreed to the request by electronic vote (122 in favour, 93 against, 1 abstention).

The President then put to the vote the request concerning the holding of a joint debate on the measures to combat the rise in oil prices and the crisis in the fisheries sector caused by the rising price in fuel oil.
