PROCEEDINGS OF THE SITTING

IN THE CHAIR: Josep BORRELL FONTELLES

President

1.   Resumption of session

The sitting opened at 17.05.

2.   Approval of Minutes of previous sitting

The Minutes of the previous sitting were approved.

3.   Statement by the President

The President made a statement on the 60th anniversary of the United Nations and mentioned the summit of Heads of State and Government that had been held in New York on 15 and 16 September 2005.

4.   Tribute

On behalf of Parliament, the President paid tribute to the memory of Matti Wuori, a Member of Parliament during the previous parliamentary term, who had died on 15.10.2005.

5.   Membership of Parliament

Garrelt Duin and Ingo Schmitt had been elected to the German Bundestag with effect from 18.10.2005. Under Article 7(2) of the Act concerning the election of Members of the European Parliament by direct universal suffrage, Parliament noted that this office was incompatible with that of Member of the European Parliament and established the vacancy of the seats concerned with effect from that date.

At its sitting of 13.10.2005(Minutes of 13.10.2005, Item 11), Parliament had established the vacancy of Wojciech Wierzejski's seat with effect from 19.10.2005, as Mr Wierzejski had been elected to the Polish Parliament. The Polish authorities had later informed the President that, under Polish law, the office of Member of the European Parliament became incompatible with that of Member of the Polish Parliament upon publication of the election results, not on the day of the Polish Parliament's inaugural sitting. As a result, it was deemed that the vacancy of Wojciech Wierzejski's seat had taken effect as of 7.10.2005.

6.   Membership of interparliamentary delegations
