"Mr President, last month in Strasbourg I raised a similar point of order under Rule 130, because Council Question Time, which was supposed to last an hour, lasted no more than 35 minutes. The Presidency-in-Office of the Council clearly thought it more important to make a telephone call than to answer our questions.
Like all those MEPs on the list to ask questions I was at least expecting a written answer immediately afterwards. It did not happen. I was then promised a written answer by last Thursday, but that did not happen either and I still have not received an answer.
I understand that this is first time under any Presidency that MEPs’ questions have gone unanswered for so long. Can I ask our own President please to ensure that at the next Strasbourg session we get not only a proper explanation, but also an apology?
Finally, I should like to ask that we also get an acknowledgement from the Council that Question Time is not just a time for MEPs to ask questions: it is also a time for the Presidency-in-Office to provide answers."@en1
