Speaker 1
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, dear colleagues.  Good afternoon.  It's my pleasure to welcome you to this extraordinary TRAN meeting. 

As already communicated by the secretariat last week, please be informed about our agenda change.  The vote on the TRAN opinion to ENVI, the amending regulation as regards the CO2 emission standards for light-duty vehicles, originally scheduled as point four on today's agenda, has been postponed to the extraordinary TRAN meeting held during the October 11 plenary session, ideally on Monday, 19 of October.  Before moving on to our main agenda points, I would like to announce the following deadlines for submitting amendments.  Opinion to ENVI on the maritime transport monitoring, reporting and verification and alignment with revisions of the EU emissions trading system, rapporteur Isabelle de la Galenec from the EPP, it's 6 October 2026 at 12.  Opinion to ENVI on the EU emissions trading system and market stability reserve, competitiveness and cost-effective decarbonisation, rapporteur Matteo Ricci from the S&D, it's 6 October 2026 at 12. 

If there are no objections, the draft agenda can be adopted with this change.  Everybody okay?  So, I don't see any objections, we proceed now.  Now, we proceed to the vote on the TRAN own-initiative report on the Connecting Europe through high-speed rail.  Our rapporteur is Mr. Vincent Marza from the Greens. 

We have seven compromise amendments.  Let's move straight ahead.  Do you want, you have all your cards?  Can we make a test just to be sure?  Okay, the question is, do you like Strasbourg? 

The vote is open.  The vote is closed.  Why don't you vote?  I did.  Okay. 

The vote is closed, yes.  29 in favor, 4 against and 6 abstentions.  I have the four names.  I noticed the four names that voted against Strasbourg.  You all like Strasbourg. 

I'm very surprised anyway.  I proceed.  So, we start, compromise 2. 

Who is in favor?  Who is against?  Abstentions?  It's adopted.  Compromise 3. 

Who is in favor?  Who is against?  Abstentions?  Adopted.  Compromise 6. 

Who is in favor?  Against?  Abstentions?  I open the vote.  It's not clear.
