"Mrs Díez González, you have asked two questions. The first concerns the reply and the time the Council has taken to provide it. As you know, this is a procedural matter and involves deadlines set unilaterally by the European Parliament. The Council was not involved in approving those deadlines, has never accepted them, and it is accordingly the Council’s policy to reiterate this point on a regular basis.
With regard to the specific point you are making, I recognise that you are perfectly right and that this is an issue which should be included in the agenda for work in this area as soon as possible. Your comments make perfect sense. The European Union is indeed, as you have said, a world power, and it is establishing various instruments and mechanisms to strengthen its position and to properly protect the rights of its citizens in other countries. You will also be aware that consular cooperation within the European Union is a recent development. A systematic approach for consular cooperation and for coordinated consular action has only been developed in the last few years. I presume that there are delays, and I believe that you are quite right, and the pressure being brought to bear on the Council on this subject is welcome as far as I am concerned."@en1
