I would like to request, on the subject of Directive 2001/55/EC, for example, that in addition to referring to it as you did, the Commission should come up with a real proposal to bring to the Council, that it should be voted in by the Council with a qualified majority, and that this should lead European countries to an unavoidable understanding that the problem of immigrants is a European problem and an understanding that the problem of protecting immigrants is a European problem that we can no longer evade.

For clarity, the draftsperson also calls for a clear reference to be made in this proposal to the applicable monetary thresholds of public procurement Directives 2004/17/EC and 2004/18/EC, as the Commission proposal makes no direct reference to applicable minimum thresholds above which these new rules apply.

Prior to formal adoption of the framework decision, and in view of the substantial amendments made to the original Commission proposal, the European Parliament was asked to issue a second opinion, which the Council requested for the plenary session of 20-23 October 2008.

To me, the honourable senator is dismissing the Assembly of First Nations, and I find that very difficult to accept.
