"Madam, you have taken advantage of my generosity. That was not a supplementary question. You tried to take the floor again. May I say, that is not quite in order.
Commissioner, allow me to make a personal comment. You referred to the House of Commons. Permit me to say that experience in the House of Commons cannot always be transferred wholesale to the European Parliament. My experience after 20 years’ membership of this House has taught me that, in the long run, the popularity of a speaker at the end of an all-night sitting increases in inverse proportion to the length of his contribution to the debate. That does not, of course, in any way restrict the Commission’s right under the Rules of Procedure to speak for as long as it likes!
The debate is closed.
The vote will take place tomorrow at 12 p.m."@en1
