"Madam President, I am sorry to take the floor to raise an issue which is not a point of order, but I feel that I should explain what happened today to some interpreters, officials and MEPs. All of us here today know what a problem it is to get to Strasbourg. I, for example, need to take three flights, starting at half past seven in the morning, to get from Asturias to Strasbourg. However, given that we arrive in Paris at 1.20 p.m. and the plane for Strasbourg leaves at 1.30 p.m., it is not acceptable to have a situation where, if the Madrid-Paris flight is delayed, we are left behind. Some interpreters were due to work at 4.30 p.m. and were unable to do so, and some MEPs, such as Mr Medina, left the Canary Islands yesterday evening to arrive here today at 5.00 p.m. If we arrive an hour late, they clearly cannot be expected to wait for us. However, if we arrive in Paris ten minutes late, it is not right that nobody bothers to tell the next flight to wait for us. This cannot continue, Madam President, because some of us have enormous problems getting here, specifically those of us who come from outlying regions. I would ask you to speak to Air France."@en1
