"Mr President, I think the translation of Mr Speroni’s speech may not have been entirely correct. He appeared to me to be saying the complete opposite regarding the decision taken. If the Members had been prepared to wait half an hour longer before eating, this would not appear to have been too great a sacrifice. Effectively, it does cause problems when you randomly move important measures to a Friday sitting. For example, we voted on drugs, which is a highly disputed issue, on a Friday. We will vote on these measures either this evening or on Friday. This appears to us to be a political manoeuvre to influence the majorities in this Chamber. You arrange our agenda and our timetable according to whether you want a particular measure to be adopted. Mr President, in order to be completely fair, you should have called for one intervention for the decision to suspend the sitting or continue and adhere to the scheduled voting time and one intervention against. Once again, the wishes of the Chamber have been disregarded. Democracy only exists on paper: it is not applied within this Parliament."@en1
