Mr Verhofstadt, I think you have noticed from the reaction that you have spoken from the heart of the vast majority of colleagues. Nevertheless, I now interpret this as a rhetorical request from you, because you have said that ‘I would like to have a good time’. I think we all have “good lust”. This is a formal request.
Thank you very much for the flowers, Mr Lamberts, but I am afraid I will not be able to keep up, because you know that the President has English as a second foreign language, while my chair has to be brought from Swabian to German and then from German to the other official languages.

The next item on the agenda is the debate on the statements by the Council and the Commission on the ongoing hearings under Article 7(1) TEU on Hungary on strengthening the rule of law and its budgetary implications(2024/2683(RSP)).
Type-approval of motor vehicles and engines with respect to their emissions and battery durability (Euro 7) (debate)
Mr. Colleague, I didn't understand you, but I know what you said. We have clear rules: There are blue cards; in exceptional cases, a further request may be made. The honourable Member has also made it clear that she does not accept any further request. Mr President, this has nothing to do with democracy.
Type-approval of motor vehicles and engines with respect to their emissions and battery durability (Euro 7) (debate)
The next item on the agenda is the debate on the report by Alexandr Vondra, on behalf of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on type-approval of motor vehicles and engines, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles, with regard to their emissions and battery durability (Euro 7) and repealing Regulations (EC) No 715/2007 and (EC) No 595/2009 (COM(2022)0586 – C9-0375/2022 – 2022/0365(COD))) (A9-0298/2023).
Approval of the minutes of the sitting and forwarding of texts adopted
The minutes of this meeting will be submitted to Parliament for approval at the beginning of the next meeting. If there are no objections, I will forward the resolutions adopted at today's sitting to the persons and bodies referred to in those resolutions.
The murder of Alexei Navalny and the need for EU action in support of political prisoners and oppressed civil society in Russia (RC-B9-0147/2024)
Mr Wallace, you have once again departed from the subject. This is not about Julian Assange, but about supporting political prisoners and oppressed civil society in Russia. I'm calling you to order.
Colleague, I did not understand what you said in Italian, but you had two and a half minutes and I interrupted you at 2 minutes 45 seconds, and we all have to keep to the rules.
The next item on the agenda is the debate on the major question for written answer with debate by Christine Anderson and Jaak Madison to the Commission: Ongoing migration crisis (G-001022/2023).
Ladies and gentlemen, I do not want to interpret this. Approval is correct, but enthusiasm is not entirely appropriate. The services assure me that they always make this possible. And over the head of the child is certainly not a correct argument. Ultimately, the services decide what is possible. There are rules and these rules will be followed and the services will also review this case. We will report back to you. We will also review this case. And the rules apply to everyone.
I understand the reminder of some colleagues that we have time to speak on the Rules of Procedure, and Mr Bütikofer, you know that. I would have appreciated it if you had at least started to stick to it. But I did not see myself interrupted after we had Mrs Navalnaya here this week. I would not have considered it appropriate now. But it would also be nice if this would at least be taken into account in return.
