"Madam President, for the benefit of all our colleagues, I shall tell the Council and our Members about the two decisions which it took yesterday. Firstly, the Council decided by qualified majority to postpone the application of compulsory labelling for one year, before Parliament had a chance to give its opinion. Commissioner Byrne did not formally tell us this. Secondly, and this is absolutely extraordinary, the Council says in its text that it believes the Commission has a third proposal. This is in addition to the proposal which we are now discussing and concerns the application of this regulation without consulting the European Parliament. This proposal is based on another article allowing a Council decision to be taken directly with the Commission, with the European Parliament’s opinion being disregarded. These are the two decisions taken yesterday. Commissioner Byrne told us very clearly yesterday that these were merely guidelines. The text which I have read does not allow such an interpretation and is actually quite categorical. ( )"@en1
