 that the Commission decides which question will be answered. That must have been misunderstood. Incidentally, the Commission is, of course, listening to what is being said here, and I have no doubt that there is a possibility that Mr McMahon's question will indeed be answered by Mr Kinnock, but that is not something we can dictate. I can only pass it on with an explicit request that Mr Kinnock reply to the question, which I shall do.
(Parliament approved the Minutes.)

Topical and urgent debate (objections)
President
The next item is the vote on objections relating to the debate on topical and urgent subjects of major importance (Rule 47).
Item I - Human Rights:

d'Ancona
Madam President, on the subject of human rights. I have two points to raise. Firstly, a request has been received to replace our human rights resolution on Vannunu with one on the war criminal Brunner. We would ask the honourable members who made that request to agree to Brunner being an addition rather than a replacement. That is my first point and my second one is an urgent plea to the Greens to withdraw the new item they want to add under the human rights heading, namely the matter of the detainee Roisín McAliskey. Why? Because negotiations are currently ongoing which might be frustrated if this question is put on the urgency list at this time. It is the result which counts and I thus ask the Greens not to press for this to be added to the agenda today but to withdraw their request.

President
Mrs D'Ancona, the objection I have received was tabled by the PPE Group, and the deadline for motions has actually passed. This means that I cannot simply grant your request - and I do understand what you want to achieve - unless the PPE Group expresses its agreement.

McKenna
Madam President, the proposal made that we should withdraw this resolution is completely out of order because the Parliament has to debate human rights abuses within the Union and it is quite clear that this Parliament has an opportunity to do so today. It will be too late to do it later. Negotiations have been going on; letters have been going backwards and forwards but nothing has actually happened. The Parliament has to address human rights abuses within the Union. We are debating human rights issues right across the world and we cannot ignore what happens in our own Member States.

President
Thank you
that the Commission decides which question will be answered. That must have been misunderstood. Incidentally, the Commission is, of path, heed to what is being said here, and I have no doubt that there is a hypothesis that Mr McMahon's question will indeed be answered by Mr Kinnock, but that is not something we can dictate. I can merely pass it on with an explicit request that Mr Kinnock answer to the doubt, which I shall do. 
 (Parliament approve the Minutes .) 

 Topical and urgent debate (objection) 
 President 
 The future item is the vote on objections relating to the debate on topical and pressing subjects of major importance (Rule 47). 
 Item I - Human Rights: 

 d'Ancona 
 Madam President, on the subject of human rights. I own two points to raise. first, a request has been received to substitute our human rights solution on Vannunu with one on the war criminal Brunner. We would ask the honourable member who made that request to agree to Brunner being an addition rather than a replacement. That is my inaugural point and my second one is an urgent plea to the Greens to withdraw the new item they want to add under the human rights heading, namely the topic of the detainee Roisín McAliskey. Why? Because negotiation are currently ongoing which might be torment if this doubt is put on the urgency list at this meter. It is the result which counts and I thus ask the Greens not to bid for this to be added to the agenda today but to withdraw their request. 

 President 
 Mrs D'Ancona, the objection I have received was tabled by the PPE Group, and the deadline for motions has actually pass. This means that I cannot simply grant your request - and I do understand what you desire to achieve - unless the PPE Group expresses its agreement. 

 McKenna 
 Madam President, the marriage proposal made that we should withdraw this resolution is completely out of order because the Parliament has to consider human rights abuses within the Union and it is quite clear that this Parliament take an opportunity to do then today. It will be too late to practice it later. negotiation have been going on; letters have been go backwards and forward but nothing has actually happened. The Parliament induce to address human right abuses within the Union. We are debating human rights issues right across the worldly concern and we cannot ignore what happens in our own Member States. 

 President
