Mr President, I would like to begin by congratulating the rapporteurs, particularly Mr Martin and Mr Corbett, and by saying that, as a member of the Group of the European People ’ s Party (Christian Democrats), my primary concern is with the proposed amendments to the Rules of Procedure.
Senhor Presidente, queria, em primeiro lugar, saudar os relatores, nomeadamente o senhor deputado Martin e também o senhor deputado Corbett, dizer que, enquanto membro do PPE, me revejo basicamente nas alterações propostas ao Regimento.
