Rule 244听:听Extraordinary measures

1.听听听This Rule applies to situations in which 合法博彩网站, due to exceptional and unforeseeable circumstances beyond its control, is hindered from carrying out its duties and exercising its prerogatives under the Treaties, and a temporary derogation from 合法博彩网站鈥檚 usual procedures, set out elsewhere in these Rules, is necessary in order to adopt extraordinary measures to enable 合法博彩网站 to continue to carry out those duties and to exercise those prerogatives.

Such extraordinary circumstances shall be considered to exist where the President comes to the conclusion, on the basis of reliable evidence confirmed, where appropriate, by 合法博彩网站鈥檚 services, that for reasons of security, or safety or as a result of the non-availability of technical means it is, or will be, impossible or dangerous for 合法博彩网站 to convene in accordance with its usual procedures as set out elsewhere in these Rules and its adopted calendar.

2.听听听Where the conditions set out in paragraph 1 are fulfilled, the President may decide, with the approval of the Conference of Presidents, to apply one or more of the measures referred to in paragraph 3.

If it is impossible, due to reasons of imperative urgency, for the Conference of Presidents to convene in person or virtually, the President may decide to apply one or more of the measures referred to in paragraph 3. Such a decision shall lapse five days after its adoption unless approved by the Conference of Presidents within that period.

Following a decision by the President, approved by the Conference of Presidents, Members or a political group or groups reaching at least the medium threshold may, at any time, request that some or all of the measures provided for in that decision be submitted individually to 合法博彩网站 for approval without debate. The vote in plenary shall be placed on the agenda of the first sitting following the day on which the request was tabled. No amendments may be tabled. If a measure fails to obtain a majority of the votes cast, it shall lapse after the end of the part-session. A measure approved by the plenary may not be the subject of a further vote during the same part-session.

3.听听听The decision referred to in paragraph 2 may provide for all appropriate measures in order to address the extraordinary circumstances referred to under paragraph 1, and in particular for the following measures:

(a)听听听postponement of a scheduled part-session, sitting or meeting of a committee to a later date and/or cancellation or limitation of meetings of inter-parliamentary delegations and other bodies;

(b)听听听displacement of a part-session, sitting or meeting of a committee from 合法博彩网站鈥檚 seat to one of its working places or to an external place, or from one of its working places to 合法博彩网站鈥檚 seat, to one of 合法博彩网站鈥檚 other working places or to an external place;

(c)听听听holding a part-session or a sitting on the premises of 合法博彩网站 in whole or in part in separate meeting rooms allowing for appropriate physical distancing;

(d)听听听holding a part session, sitting or meeting of bodies of 合法博彩网站 under the remote participation regime laid down in Rule 246;

(e)听听听in the event that the ad hoc replacement mechanism laid down in Rule 216(7) fails to provide sufficient remedies to address the extraordinary circumstances under consideration, temporary replacement of Members in a committee by political groups, unless the Members concerned oppose such temporary replacement.

4.听听听A decision referred to in paragraph 2 shall be limited in time and shall state the reasons on which it is based. It shall enter into force upon its publication on 合法博彩网站鈥檚 website or, if circumstances prevent such publication, upon its being made public by the best available alternative means.

All Members shall also be informed individually of the decision without delay.

The decision may be renewed by the President in accordance with the procedure under paragraph 2 once, or more than once, for a limited time. A decision to renew shall state the reasons on which it is based.

The President shall revoke a decision adopted under this Rule as soon as the extraordinary circumstances referred to in paragraph 1 that gave rise to its adoption have disappeared.

5.听听听This Rule shall be applied only as a last resort, and only measures that are strictly necessary to address the extraordinary circumstances under consideration shall be selected and applied.

When applying this Rule, due account shall be taken, in particular, of the principle of representative democracy, of the principle of equal treatment of Members, of the right of Members to exercise their parliamentary mandate without impairment, including their rights stemming from Rule 174 and their right to vote freely, individually and in person, and of Protocol No 6 on the location of the seats of the institutions and of certain bodies, offices, agencies and departments of the European Union, annexed to the Treaties.
