"Mr President, on behalf of my Group, I would also like to congratulate the Irish presidency on its approach and on the method it is taking, which I believe is the right one. However, my Group is of the strong view that if, through no fault of its own, the Irish presidency does not begin to produce results within a reasonable period of time, it will not be possible for our Parliament to continue with ‘business as usual’. It will become increasingly difficult for us and for many Member States in the Council to act as if this is an issue that can be set to one side for many months and years. A solution has to be found quickly for reasons that my colleagues have already outlined.
May I also ask the presidency how it intends to find a compromise on the difficult issue of the voting system in the Council? The overall majority wants the double majority system, yet one or two countries are holding out against it. How does the presidency intend to bring these countries on board? What kind of adjustment mechanism or declaration is likely to be used to make this voting system acceptable to these countries?"@en1
