Announcement by the President

Based on the conclusions of the advisory committee dealing with harassment complaints between accredited parliamentary assistants and Members of the European Parliament and after taking into account the observations of the Member concerned, I have decided to impose a penalty on Monica Semedo, pursuant to Rule 10(6) and Rule 176, as a result of her behaviour towards her accredited parliamentary assistant, which constituted psychological harassment. The penalty consists of the forfeiture of entitlement to the daily subsistence allowance for a period of 10 days. The Member concerned has been notified of the decision today and is entitled to lodge an internal appeal with the Bureau under Rule 177. The penalty would be suspended for the duration of any such appeal.

So we will vote on the request as amended by the EPP Group. (Parliament rejected the request) The agenda therefore remains unchanged. For Wednesday, the EPP Group has requested that a debate under Rule 144 on the rule of law in Russia be added as the second debate with resolution under Rule 144 in the evening.

We will put the request of the EPP Group to the vote by roll call. (Parliament rejected the EPP Group’s request) Ms García Pérez, would you still like to keep your proposal? I see that is the case, so we will put the request of the S&D, Greens/EFA and The Left groups to a vote by roll call. (Parliament agreed to the proposal from the S&D, Greens/EFA and The Left groups) Therefore we will have a Council and Commission statement on ‘the need for European solidarity in saving lives in the Mediterranean, in particular in Italy’. That will be added as the fourth item in the afternoon and the sitting will be extended until 23.00. Also for Tuesday, the ECR Group has requested that an oral question on ‘unjustified interference by the Commission in the chosen nature policy of a Member State’ be added as the fourth item in the afternoon after the debate on the guidelines for the 2024 budget. I give the floor to Mr Ruissen to move the request on behalf of the ECR Group.

(Parliament approved the joint request) Therefore there will be a Council and Commission statement on ‘The rights of children in rainbow families and same—sex families, in particular in Italy’ as a last point this afternoon, extension until the end of the evening. We move next to a request by The Left Group for Wednesday that the Commission statement on ‘Immediate measures to counter the impact of the interest—rate increase decided by the ECB on households and workers’ be added as the last point tonight.
