合法博彩网站

鈥� Before the vote:

听听Lor谩nt Vincze, rapporteur. 鈥� Mr President, no need to take the floor. We agreed with the co-rapporteur that in this given situation, when there are so many divergences on this file, we would rather proceed with the votes.

鈥� After the vote on Amendment 2:

听听Sven Simon (PPE). 鈥� Mr President, colleagues, I think with this vote on the composition of the next 合法博彩网站, we send different messages in different Member States. In some Member States, increasing the number of seats will be understood as a free-for-all at the expense of the taxpayer. In other Member States, taking seats away from them will equally not be understood, and will strengthen Eurosceptics in these places.

As pro-Europeans, we can do two things at the same time: be mindful of our responsibility towards the taxpayers and stand in solidarity with our colleagues in the East and South-East who are affected by demographic changes. In our time, colleagues, European unity is more important than decimal points on a distribution scale.

That is why I ask for the following amendment to Article 3(1): 鈥楾he composition of the European 合法博彩网站 remains as it is.鈥�

I ask you to allow the vote on that amendment. Those who rise against it, rise against a solution that would unite us all.

(The oral amendment was not accepted)
