Thank you, Madam Chair.

I'm happy to read the motion. It's also been sent to all MPs through their P9 account, so they should be able to get that accordingly.

I'll abstain. I don't know enough about this. I think we need to continue talking about it, but I will abstain on principle.

(Motion agreed to: yeas: 6, nays 0)
