States that the matter upon which the President of the Bureau said that the Bureau would have to reflect carefully at its meeting of 16 June 2009, namely the decline in turnout in European elections, is a political issue and as such is a matter exclusively for the appropriate political bodies of Parliament, that is to say the committees and the Plenary; Amendment 154 # Frank VANHECKE Motion for a resolution Paragraph 101 b (new) 101b.

Deplores the Bureau's careless and inadequate attitude in regard to the scrutiny of spending by European political parties; Amendment 171 # Frank VANHECKE Motion for a resolution Paragraph 120 a (new) 120a.

Decides that grants to a political foundation which fails to submit a detailed work programme will be halted forthwith; Amendment 173 # Frank VANHECKE Motion for a resolution Paragraph 120 c (new) 120c.

Urges ACP countries to establish policies, based on respect for human rights, democratic principles, rule of law, sound economic development and decent work, in order to combat brain drain and allow ACP countries to use their trained work force for their own development; considers in this context that the blue card system and the Commission's reception centres in Africa yet further encourage and aggravate this brain drain; Amendment 38 # Frank VANHECKE Motion for a resolution Paragraph 14 a (new) 14a.
