"Madam President, it is never too late, as they say.
I have here the text of a decision made by the Agriculture Council. The Council is therefore making decisions and, apparently, deftly transferring the responsibility for these to Parliament’s Committee on the Environment. This is very interesting. We had a rather confused debate in the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy and we are having this debate here today. The Council claims that, as soon as we wanted to make amendments, it distanced itself and went down another route, in league with the Commission. It even says in its decision that it believes that the Commission has another proposal to make which will circumvent Parliament and lead the Commission and Council to decide on their own. All this appears in the document which I have here.
We clearly need an explanation because you could say that the debate on my report is pointless if the Council is allowed to decide what it wants. The Council should therefore be here. I am not sure whether we have the power to force its presence. The possibility of an agreement certainly exists, but we need the Council here in order to find out."@en1
