lpv:translated text	"Madam President, my apologies; I rarely ask for the floor in this sort of situation but I do this also to make an appeal to the House. With all due respect to Mr Sturdy, I consider that his complaint against Mr Byrne is not quite fair because, in the final analysis, we asked Mr Byrne to present the White Paper on food safety. It is a highly complicated paper and cannot be dealt with in ten minutes. Mr Byrne took 15 or 17 minutes to do so and then some of us asked questions, some of which took longer than one minute. I took less than a minute, others took more. It is up to us to ensure that the Commission has an hour, not half an hour to explain its position and that we then have sufficient time to hold a debate on it. What Mr Provan said is indeed correct. I was here in plenary from 3.00 p.m. yesterday and it was we, the Parliament, who put the oil disaster on the agenda and we, the Parliament, who put the storms in Europe on the agenda. As a result, we all talked for longer under vice-presidents Colom and Provan. It was Parliament’s fault that we ran over so badly. The vice-presidents had a difficult job and I think it is unfair to blame the Commissioner because Mr Byrne had to wait and suffered as a result. It is up to us to change our agenda and be more disciplined."@en1
