Sorry. We have clear rules on what are points of order. Some colleagues are very generous when there are actual accidents or things that are happening. But sorry, we have to stick to the points of order, because on Monday we have the one-minute speeches so you can make your position on special issues you want to raise. But we are here exactly for points of order. And that is what I exercise, clearly to the Rules. And there is no discussion about what has happened yesterday or the week after, or 20 weeks before or later. Sorry, we have clear order to rule it like it is. (Applause)

We have rules for such committees of inquiry. We will check if there is a possibility, but thank you very much for that. So we have no more points of order, and now we should move on to the votes. Actually, I see we do have a point of order.

Sorry, I also have to ask you, what is the point of order? Because we had yesterday a debate on that point. You had the opportunity – with blue card, with speaking time, with other points – to react to what the Commission said. So we don't have a new debate on what was said yesterday during the debate. I was chairing the debate. I know what happened yesterday. Sorry, I want to be strict with the points of order, so thank you very much. It's not a point of order for today. (Applause)

No. A declaration by the Commission is not any speech, anywhere, in any conference. It's another thing and we checked that beforehand. So, no.

You can ask in the next meeting for a debate and for an oral question to the Commission. But we don't have a debate on what the Commission says somewhere in the world. (Heckling) No, sorry, it's not covered by the rule you mentioned. Sorry.

I now have questions about the blue card procedure again, but I would like to explain the rules for this procedure again. On the one hand: No second question about the blue card procedure in the same debate by the same person. Second, A question about the procedure of the blue card to an answer to such a question also does not go according to our rules. Just to make it clear again.

Need to enforce the Digital Services Act to protect democracy on social media platforms including against foreign interference and biased algorithms (debate)

As we have many people on the speakers' list already who asked for the floor or are on the list of the political groups, I would really ask you to respect the speaking time. And, again, I want to remind you that those who have already had several blue‑cards or speaking time should not ask for another blue‑card, just to give the chance to all the speakers to be heard.

I might like to communicate again the rules for questions about the blue card procedure. Someone on the list of speakers should not normally ask a question about the blue card procedure – because they have the opportunity to express their opinion – but it is a possibility for someone who does not already have speaking time anyway. Second, half a minute for the question, half a minute for the answer – and I really ask you to stick to it. We have handled this debate very generously so far, but we still have a lot of speakers who were still registered through the political groups and only one hour left before the votes. And I think that, in the light of this, we should now really focus on the strict rules of the blue card procedure, so that the speakers who are also on the list have the opportunity to get there.
