lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, on a point of order, I should like to ask you to ask the President of Parliament to register our complaint to the French Government, to the Mayor of Strasbourg and indeed to Air France: some of us were unable to get to the start of the plenary session yesterday because Air France cancelled one of the only direct flights from the UK to Strasbourg. That meant a lot of us had to fly via Nantes and did not arrive until 9 p.m. We were the lucky ones. I understand the President of Parliament was also affected. If the French Government insists that we meet here for 12 sessions a year – and I have not been one of those complaining about it – please let us get to the plenary session and indeed get home from the plenary session after the votes at 6.30 on Thursday evening! It is absolutely ridiculous that Members of the European Parliament cannot take part in debates. I was due to speak in one of those debates yesterday, as I know other people were. Would the President please contact the officials and ask them to do something about it?"@en1
