"Madam President, I really must say something here because, unlike a previous esteemed speaker, I was not given a chance to be heard. Obviously some people are more equal than others in this Chamber. I understand that the Commissioner was in a hurry, so that I could not be called upon to raise my point of order.
Time should have been used efficiently when discussing the last item on the agenda. It is with regret that I find that the President was a little too generous with his allocation of time in the debate. We cannot allow so many people to wait for the catch-the-eye procedure throughout the entire process. However, Madam President, it would seem that you are not listening to me either. A system obviously operates in this House whereby good time-keeping is regarded as unimportant.
When we hear numerous references to solidarity from our fellow Members, a word they seem to use in every second sentence, while going over their allotted time by at least twenty to thirty seconds, then I would contend that this flies in the face of their expressions of solidarity. I would ask you to take my request to the Conference of Presidents and that the otherwise esteemed previous speaker should try to keep to his allotted speaking time in future. That way, we will not lose so much time. It would then be possible to allow one or other of my fellow Members to speak using the catch-the-eye procedure, without restricting them to a minimal amount of time."@en1
