Final vote — decided by show of hands; no counts were recorded.
Parliament considered a request from the Public Prosecutor's Office at the Court of Pesaro in Italy to waive the immunity of MEP Matteo Ricci, elected in Italy, in connection with criminal proceedings concerning alleged offences committed while he was Mayor of Pesaro. Parliament decided to waive Matteo Ricci's immunity, meaning the Italian authorities can proceed with the request, which concerns the seizure, reading and possible use of correspondence between him and a collaborator. Parliament instructed its President to forward the decision immediately to the competent authority of Italy and to Matteo Ricci.
