14. Progress report on Croatia (vote) 
- Swoboda report
- Before the vote on Amendment 18
Hannes Swoboda 
rapporteur. - (DE) Mr President, it had been agreed with the shadow rapporteurs that this would read simply 'the Croatian authorities' rather than 'the government and local authorities'.
(The oral amendment was accepted)
- Before the vote on Amendment 24
Hannes Swoboda 
rapporteur. - (DE) Mr President, something else I have to clarify, with the agreement of the shadow rapporteurs, is that this provision is intended to apply to all problems with borders, and so I ask that 'with neighbouring countries' be inserted. This rule that recourse be had to the services of a third party should, then, apply in principle to all border problems that are as yet unresolved.
(The oral amendment was accepted)
President
That concludes the vote.
Reinhard Rack
(DE) Mr President, might I ask why it is that, since we always have relatively few votes on a Tuesday and always a very large number of them on Wednesdays, why it is that formal sittings are always on Wednesdays? Could we not move them to a Tuesday? That would work every bit as well, and we would be able to organise our timetable far better.
President
I shall pass your comment on to the right person and try to get you an answer.
