".
I would like to state that I am in complete agreement with what the chairman said just now. This Question Time is clearly not satisfactory. I have attended the European Parliament on many occasions and have been involved in all sorts of very interesting procedures. This is not one of them. You can see for yourselves that the Chamber is far from full. There are perhaps a dozen people here. I say that this is not satisfactory either for the Council or for Parliament. Please do not get agitated.
Please, that is enough; this is really a trivial issue. I am simply trying to present a procedural issue. Indeed this is something about which I have written to your President, Nicole Fontaine, and she agrees with me.
I feel that the procedure must be reformed in a quite simple way to enable Members of Parliament to receive more specific answers on subjects which must be better organised. The Council Presidency, sir, is not a government or a single person, but a country working together with the departments of the general secretariat of the Council, and here we give you the precise answers which we have to precise questions.
If you are going to indulge in filibustering, then it is going to take hours. The procedure must therefore be amended or reformed. This is something I must stress and, sir, it has nothing to do with totally misplaced value judgements."@en1
