For that other amendment, it doesn't matter anyway since it didn't get enough seconds. With this one, I'd be the fifth if I count right. I am going to second this, in order to speed up things, in case the minimum discussion period is counted from the last second needed. If something better (or more consensual) comes out of this meeting, I assume this proposal would be withdrawn, anyway. Therefore, I hereby second this amendment: > ,---- > | 1.
