"Madam President, I have little to add after Mrs Oomen’s intervention. I only hope that you will understand this. The Dutch group which made Fridays a subject for discussion in this way did not do this because they are against Strasbourg or anything like that. They did so because time and again, there is heavy criticism, also in the Netherlands, regarding these Friday sittings and also because most of us prefer to work in our country on Fridays. This is because we already spend a great deal of our time in Brussels and Strasbourg as it is, and because we need the time to talk to our electorate. I think that a serious discussion about Fridays is urgently needed and this should not be confused with the discussion about Strasbourg. It is a discussion on the question of whether we organise our work efficiently and well and whether we have any time left to spend in our own constituencies. I support the action in this sense."@en1
