Rule 9 - Reconsideration of previously ratified credentials on substantive grounds
9.1. The Assembly
may reconsider ratified credentials of a national delegation as
a whole in the course of the same ordinary session either:
9.1.b. on the basis of
a report by the Monitoring Committee containing a text which recommends
that the credentials be reconsidered.
9.2. A motion
for a resolution to annul ratification shall be tabled by at least
fifty representatives or substitutes, belonging to at least two
political groups and five national delegations, and be distributed at least
two weeks before the opening of a part-session or a meeting of the
Standing Committee. The list of signatories may not include more
members of a delegation than the number of seats held by that delegation
in the Assembly. The motion for a resolution shall state the reasons
for it. Once tabled, a motion cannot be withdrawn by its authors
and no signature may be withdrawn or added to it. It shall be referred
without debate to the appropriate committee for report and to the
Committee on Rules of Procedure, Immunities and Institutional Affairs
for opinion. It may be referred, if necessary, to other committees
for opinion. The committee shall report within twenty-four hours
if possible and the Assembly shall consider it as soon as possible.
These deadlines do not apply to the Standing Committee.
9.3. The
Monitoring Committee may, in a report foreseen on the agenda of
the Assembly or on the agenda of the Standing Committee, call into
question the credentials of a national delegation. Such a report
shall, before being discussed by the Assembly or the Standing Committee,
be referred to the Committee on Rules of Procedure, Immunities and
Institutional Affairs for opinion.
