". Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Mr Posselt's last statement, his threat to talk for 20 minutes non-stop about the Deprez report, really is an argument for deferring the report at this stage. However, the basic problem here is something quite different. Mr Posselt has in fact said everything that needs to be said. What we are witnessing here – and we have already debated this once this afternoon, as we also did on Monday and Tuesday – is, and I shall make no bones about it, an attempt to systematically undermine Strasbourg as the seat of Parliament. Tactics like this are capable of achieving just that. Mr Posselt, even if it would make a valuable contribution if you were to speak for 20 minutes – and I too could also speak for 20 minutes, as no one else is left from my group either – in reality it would mean that the work Mr Deprez has so carefully done would not be debated in the way it deserves here. To that extent I can understand Mr Deprez's desire that his report, which is based on the approach developed in the committee and which should be reflected here in this Chamber, should be given a reasonable hearing in the plenary. So I really am in favour of deferring a report as important as this one, and for my part I would recommend acceding to Mr Deprez's request."@en1
