Key Points: 
  • Decides to amend its Rules of Procedure as shown below;
    2.
  • Decides that the amendments shall enter into force on the day following their adoption;
    3.
  • Instructs its President to forward this decision to the Council and the Commission, for information.
  • Amendment 1

    Amendment
    1.
  • Amendment 2
    Parliament's Rules of Procedure
    Rule 9 – paragraph 1
    Present text
    Amendment
    1.
  • Any inquiry as to the scope of Members' privileges or immunities made by a competent authority shall be dealt with in accordance with the above rules.
  • Since the Rules of Procedure do not provide for this possibility, they must be aligned with that provision.
  • With regard to the request for lifting the immunity, the European Chief Prosecutor needs to be included into the relevant provisions of Rule 9, which is the objective of amendments 2 to 6.
  • However, amendments 1 and 7 have a broader scope, since they deal with a possible infringement of Members’ immunities and an inquiry on the scope of Members' immunities.
  • For those two amendments, a more general reference to the European Public Prosecutor’s Office thus seems to be appropriate.
