"Mr Izquierdo, I am President for this sitting, as you know, I am not the President of Parliament. Nor is it likely that I will ever be President of Parliament. I will communicate your speech to the President, and I can tell you that the President has received a letter from you and another one from Mr Berenguer. I believe that you will have received a reply from the President, which has probably been sent by fax. In it, I believe that the President – who, pursuant to Rule 43 of the Rules of Procedure, is assisted by her office, which is empowered to allow and put the questions in order – replies, and I have the reply before me, by pointing out the criteria she has used to put the questions in order. In short, I can tell you that the President and the services considered that the question was addressed to Mr Prodi, and he was not expected to attend the plenary sitting. The President of the Commission does not usually attend this Question Time. There are a number of Commissioners, including Mr Kinnock and Mr Byrne, who we know in advance will reply to questions. This is communicated to the Members of the European Parliament and they therefore ask specific questions.
Furthermore, the President of Parliament has decided, as well as considering the chronological order, to select the five questions which, in her judgment, are priorities and urgent, which are the five which make up the first part and which we are going to deal with now.
That is the explanation I can give you, with complete transparency. In any event, I take note of your comments, which will appear in the Minutes, and I regret that a newspaper from any country can make statements on written or oral replies which are yet to be given.
Mr Berenguer has the floor for a point of order. I would ask him to be as concise as possible."@en1
