"Mr Titley, I quite understand that Members whose names have not been called feel somewhat frustrated.
Having said this, I would remind you that this was a question and answer session. It is true that some Members far exceeded their allotted speaking time. Should I have cut them off because of that? You are well aware that that is not my way of doing things. I am sure you will also understand that I naturally had to give precedence to the rapporteurs, to those who have worked as rapporteurs on this subject. I would also point out, for your information, that a number of rapporteurs were unfortunately unable to take the floor, including three from the European People’s Party: Mrs Carlsson, Mrs Stenzel and Mr Van Orden, not to mention Mr Haarder and Mr Beazley.
So you see, Mr Titley, how difficult this was to manage. I think that Parliament should make a decision, but it should be aware that if the question and answer session overruns, and I would gladly have extended it by a good half-hour, as I think the subject deserved it, the time devoted to questions to the Commission may have to be reduced. You can imagine the reaction of your fellow Members who, as you know, are extremely anxious that the time allocated to questions to the Commission be scrupulously observed. You know that, when this is not the case, those Members call us to task and they are quite right to do so. I have tried to act for the best. If I was wrong, I apologise."@en1
