"Mr President, it is obviously true that the Presidency represents the Council and that the organisation of Council meetings is the specific task of the Council. In practice, however, matters proceed in such a way that each successive Presidency makes its own schedule for its forthcoming term. I understand very well that Parliament’s work here in Strasbourg is very important, and it is indeed to be hoped that the overlapping of meetings can be avoided. As there are a lot of Councils, and they are made up of 15 members, who should all be present, and as there are many issues to discuss, it is virtually impossible to imagine that some weeks might be left entirely free, as the Councils are quite busy enough as they are. It is clear, however, that the organisation of Council meeting timetables has to be looked at seriously. Finland, as the country that will soon be handing over the Presidency, will carry on with the message that we should always try to avoid overlapping, if circumstances allow. Unfortunately, however, it is not always possible."@en1
