"Mr President, Stubb is a very common Finnish name: you probably only need an 'inen' or 'onen' at the end to turn it into Hakkinen or Raikkonen or something along those lines.
Commissioner, I welcome your initiative, it is an excellent one. But I am a little sad to see that the debate we have had in Parliament was derailed, in the sense that we immediately started to talk about process: why did you not come with the paper to us first? Well, you have come to us, and we see it right here. It is a very good initiative. There is nothing new in this, it is part of improved regulation and it is something that we urgently needed, especially after the French and the Dutch referendums.
If I have understood you correctly, you are going to withdraw 70 initiatives, which are: firstly, old; secondly, based on an impact assessment; or thirdly, based on subsidiarity. If that is the case, I am all for it. I can say this even though I sit at this end of the table. I am a federalist, I want more Europe, but I want less and better regulation. The problem with the European Parliament today is that we are putting up too many barriers and we should not do that. We need more freedom.
Just give us one answer, what is your timetable, when do you want our answer?"@en1
