"In general terms, I must say to Mr Harbour that we have provided ourselves with Rules of Procedure – approved a few weeks ago – and that these Rules regulate practically everything. Competence for and allocation of the order or classification of these questions falls to the Commission, which naturally can make mistakes, just as Parliament can. In the classification today, as you have explained quite rightly, this question is not allocated to Mr Liikanen.
I have no opposition to Mr Liikanen replying, but I must say one thing: that this is not just an issue between Mr Liikanen, you and myself, but that there are other Members whose questions are in the order, who wish to ask their questions and we have very little time.
In other words, introducing one question means giving up another, and this sets a very difficult precedent. You, as a Briton, know better than anybody else how important precedents are.
In principle, your question will be replied to in writing. It will only be possible if some of the twenty minutes remains and Mr Liikanen is prepared to answer it. Only in this case.
In any event, Mr Liikanen can give his opinion. Since you have referred to the opinion of Mr Liikanen, I will give him the floor so that he can give his opinion on this point or order."@en1
