lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I rise to raise an important issue for individual Members of this House relating to Council Question Time. I was informed yesterday by the questions office of this House that my question relating to the Middle East would not be taken by the Council today because the matter I was raising, the Association Agreement between Europe and Israel, would be dealt with by the Council in debate yesterday. The Council did not deal with that issue yesterday, so I contacted the office again today to have this question restored to the order paper. I have now been informed that the Council will not deal with my question or ten other Members' questions because it claims it has not had time to prepare its replies. I do not think that is acceptable. This is one of the few rights that individual Members have: to question the Commission and the Council directly in this House. It is a display of contempt for the Members of this House for the Council to seek simply to push aside important questions which individual Members may want to raise. I would ask you, Mr President, to make the strongest possible protest to the Council to ensure that my question and the other Members' questions are restored and in fact replied to; and to make it clear that neither this Council nor any other council is entitled to treat this House with such contempt."@en1
