gouf?</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>So the question arises: what is the added value of this motion, if every point in it has either already been implemented, is being implemented, or was presented in detail in the competent committee?</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2026-05-21-n144\" class=\"wikiLink\" data-target=\"seances/2026-05-21-n144\">Sitting of 21 May 2026</a></p>\n<h2>The
