Translation of "Kurze abstimmung" in English

Mr President, I want to give a brief explanation of vote with regard to the Bourlanges report and in particular our vote on Doc. A5-30/99.

I present this brief explanation of vote on my own behalf and on behalf of my colleague Michèle Lindeperg, who is representing us both at a meeting in Lyons to mark Europe Day.

He has paved the way for the very broadly accepted solutions that form the basis for this, hopefully, short and uncomplicated vote today.

Representatives may make brief statements consisting solely of explanations of vote, before the voting has commenced or after the voting has been completed.

It would suit me, personally, and I do not think anyone would have any objection, since it is a relatively brief vote.

You will also benefit from a short consultation with us regarding which data format should be used for processing transactions.

If you would allow me, I would like to take up a few minutes after the votes.

The proposed regulation on animal by-products is expected to be voted on by Parliament shortly.

Now, just before the vote, there are still numerous posters hanging on the walls.

However, the effect of amending the Rules of Procedure has been to shorten the explanations of vote.

First, I must say that I very much appreciate the hard work undertaken by Parliament on the examination of the proposal for a directive on patients' rights in cross-border health care which will shortly be submitted to your vote.

On the eve of the vote on the report on a possible increase in the greenhouse gas emission reduction target by 2020 from 20% to 30%, I would like to express my alarm at the conclusions, which go too far.

Shortly before the vote Mrs Çiller is presented as a guarantor of democracy and a guarantor of a secular Turkey.

My concern is with Mrs Green's behaviour, because she knows perfectly well that it is not the tradition of this House to make interventions designed to influence the outcome of the vote immediately before the vote.

We are about to vote on a most important topic and we should do so in a calm, dignified and responsible manner.

Mr President, I had asked if I could raise a brief point of order before the vote on Rules 5 and 119.
