Order of business

Would any colleague like to speak against this request? That is not the case. I put the request to the vote by roll call. (Parliament rejected the request) The agenda is therefore adopted. The order of business is thus established. We have now the points of order. I'll go through them as we received them.

Order of business

The final draft agenda, as adopted by the Conference of Presidents on 4 February pursuant to Rule 163, has been distributed. I would like to inform you that I have received a request for an urgent procedure. Points of order will be dealt with just after this point. I have received a request for an urgent procedure from the EPP, S&D and Renew groups, pursuant to Rule 170(6), on the following proposal: 'Amending the multiannual financial framework for the years 2021 to 2027'. The vote on this request will be taken tomorrow. If adopted, the vote will be held on Wednesday. Also, with the agreement of the political groups, I wish to put to the House the following proposals for changes to the final draft agenda. The following items will be added to Wednesday's votes: 'Regulation implementing enhanced cooperation on the establishment of the Ukraine Support Loan for 2026 and 2027' and 'Amending Regulation 2024/792, establishing the Ukraine Facility'. The deadlines are as follows. Amendments: today, 19:00. Splits and separate votes: tomorrow, 16:00. The title of the debate, also on Tuesday morning, will be changed to the following: 'Extreme weather events in particular in Portugal, southern Italy, Malta and Greece: European response in strengthening readiness, preparedness and solidarity mechanisms'. If there are no objections, these changes are approved and we now move to changes requested by the political groups. For Tuesday, the Renew Group has requested that a Commission statement on ‘European response to the attacks on the Ukrainian energy system causing a humanitarian crisis’ be added as the first point in the afternoon. As a consequence, the sitting would be extended to 22:00.

Order of business

We now come to the order of business. The final draft agenda, as adopted by the Conference of Presidents on 14 January pursuant to Rule 163, has been distributed. First, I would like to inform you that I have received a request for urgent procedure from the EPP, S&D and Renew groups, pursuant to Rule 170(6), on the following three proposals: 'Enhanced cooperation on the establishment of a Loan for Ukraine'; 'Regulation implementing enhanced cooperation on the establishment of the Ukraine Support Loan for 2026 and 2027'; 'Amending Regulation 2024/792 establishing the Ukraine Facility'. The vote on these requests will be taken tomorrow. For the first proposal on enhanced cooperation, if adopted, the vote will be held on Wednesday. For the other two proposals on regulations, if adopted, the vote will be held at a future part-session. With the agreement of the political groups, I wish to put to the House the following proposals for changes to the final draft agenda. The title of the debate on Council and Commission statements on 'Territorial integrity and sovereignty of Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark' be changed to 'Territorial integrity and sovereignty of Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark: the need for a united EU response to US blackmail attempts'. The vote on the report by Mr Michał Szczerba on EU-US political relations will be postponed to a future part session. There are no objections. These changes are approved. The agenda is now adopted and the order of business is thus established. Now we go to the points of order – there are quite a few.
