"Ladies and gentlemen, before we start work, I should like to make two comments. My first comment is addressed mainly to our new members. Please speak slowly enough to allow our interpreters to follow your speeches. If you do not, you will be poorly interpreted, if at all, and the point of your speech will be lost.
My second request is this: please, if at all possible, keep to the time allowed. I say this not for my benefit, I have all the time in the world, but because new members in particular are not aware of the fact that a plenary session does not only involve us here in front and the interpreters whom you see in the booths; behind the scenes there is a whole apparatus which is responsible, for example, for ensuring at the end of the day that the Minutes are ready for you early tomorrow morning. These people have homes to go to! You will be doing us all a favour if you keep more or less to the time allowed. Thank you for your attention to these preliminary comments.
***
Mr Gorostiaga, you have a point of order to make?"@en1
