Under Rule 3(2), until such time as her credentials had been verified or a ruling had been given on any dispute, and provided that she had previously made a written declaration stating that she did not hold any office incompatible with that of Member of the European Parliament, Maddalena Calia would take her seat in Parliament and on its bodies and would enjoy all the rights attaching thereto.
Saskaņā ar Reglamenta 3. panta 2. punktu, kamēr Maddalena Calia pilnvaras nav pārbaudītas vai kamēr nav pieņemts lēmums par strīdīgu jautājumu, viņa darbojas Parlamentā un tā struktūrvienībās, un uz viņu attiecas visas ar šo darbību saistītās tiesības, ja viņa pirms tam ir parakstījusi rakstisku deklarāciju, ka neieņem ar deputāta mandātu nesavienojamu amatu.
