TITLE XIV:EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES

Rule 245:Disturbance of the political balance in Ϸվ

1.The President may, with the approval of the Conference of Presidents, adopt measures necessary to facilitate the participation of Members or of a political group concerned if, on the basis of reliable evidence, the President comes to the conclusion that the political balance in Ϸվ is severely impaired because a significant number of Members or a political group cannot take part in Ϸվ’s proceedings in accordance with its usual procedures, as set out elsewhere in these Rules, for reasons of security or safety, or as a result of the non-availability of technical means.

The sole aim of such measures shall be to allow the remote participation of Members concerned by the application of selected technical means under Rule 246(1) or by other appropriate means serving the same purpose.

2.Measures under paragraph 1 may be adopted for the benefit of a significant number of Members if exceptional and unforeseeable circumstances beyond their control occurring in a regional context lead to their non-participation.

Measures under paragraph 1 may also be adopted for the benefit of members of a political group if that group has requested them where the non-participation of that group results from exceptional and unforeseeable circumstances beyond that group’s control.

3.Rule 244(2), second and third subparagraphs, and the rules and principles laid down in Rule 244(4) and (5) shall apply accordingly.
