"(NL) Madam President, I should like to raise a point of order, and he should not take this personally, regarding the presence of the Commissioner. The subject we are shortly to discuss is the ‘non-competition clause in football’. That is on the agenda for this morning. The Commissioner for competition policy, Mr Van Miert, ought to be present for this. It has often been the case in the past that Commissioners who did not have competence in the agenda item have attended here. I would urge you as the Bureau, to discuss with the President of the Commission, Mr Prodi, that when certain items appear on our agenda, the Commissioners who attend are those who actually have competence for the area concerned. Mr Kinnock is not to take this personally, for it may be that he is a great fan of football, and I know that he is a talented Commissioner, but I think this matter is too important to have to bring before the new Parliament again. It is the Commissioners with responsibility for the topic concerned that should be here when their subject is being discussed.
(Applause)"@en1
