"Mr President, I would like to raise a point of order. I heard Commissioner Barnier say that he is intending to leave, that he needs to go early because he has other commitments. Can I just say that I was minister in my own country for five years but not a single minister in our parliament would have considered walking out on a debate where spokespersons were still waiting to speak. Mrs de Palacio, who is responsible for relations with Parliament, has also promised – at least in our Group – that Commissioners will remain present in all debates from now on. The last speakers are just as important as the first ones. They may even have more voters behind them than the first ones. I urge Mr Barnier to respect Parliament and to stay. Otherwise I would ask you to write to Mr Prodi to observe the agreements with Mrs de Palacio."@en1
