Translation of "Sitting for revision " (English → French) :

We revised this rule last year to distinguish very clearly between protests that are measured, that are visual but do not disrupt the sitting, and those sorts of behaviour which actually disrupt the parliamentary sitting.

3. Since its first five-year term, Parliament has followed a consistent practice that has enabled it to work out certain general principles laid down definitively in the resolution adopted at the sitting of 10 March 1987 on the basis of the report by Mr Donnez on the draft Protocol revising the Protocol on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Communities of 8 April 1965 in respect of Members of the European Parliament (Doc ...[+++]. A2-121/86).

At the sitting of 16 January 2003 the President of Parliament announced that the Committee on Budgets had been authorised to draw up an own-initiative report, pursuant to Rule 163 of the Rules of Procedure, on reform of the budgetary procedure : possible options in view of the revision of the treaties, and the Committee on Constitutional Affairs had been asked for its opinion.

As the honourable Member can see from this text, the Council, therefore, as an institution, does not take part in the Intergovernmental Conference responsible for revising the Treaty and for that reason, it is out of the question that it could adopt a position on proposals for such a revision, all the more so when, as the honourable Member observes, the statement in question was not made at a formal sitting of the Council.

GOVERNMENT ORDERS Notice having been given at a previous sitting under the provisions of Standing Order 78(3), Mr. Boudria (Leader of the Government in the House of Commons), seconded Mr. Eggleton (Minister of National Defence), moved, That, in relation to Bill C-6, An Act to support and promote electronic commerce by protecting personal information that is collected, used or disclosed in certain circumstances, by providing for the use of electronic means to communicate or record information or transactions and by amending the Canada Evidence Act, the Statutory Instruments Act and the Statute Revision ...[+++] Act, not more than one further sitting day shall be allotted to the consideration of the report stage of the Bill and one sitting day shall be allotted to the third reading stage of the said Bill; and That, 15 minutes before the expiry of the time provided for Government Orders on the day allotted to the consideration of the report stage and on the day allotted to the third reading stage of the said Bill, any proceedings before the House shall be interrupted, if required for the purpose of this Order, and in turn every question necessary for the disposal of the stage of the Bill then under consideration shall be put forthwith and successively without further debate or amendment.

From Parliament's debates on these requests have emerged some general principles which were given definitive recognition in the resolution adopted by Parliament at its sitting of 10 March 1987 on the basis of the report by Mr Donnez on the draft protocol revising the Protocol on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Communities in respect of Members of the European Parliament (A2-12⅛6).
