"Mrs Ferrer, I am going to give you the explanation which, in this case, I can give you. The Commission is perfectly well informed, because it has received the questions and has put them in order. The situation is that questions which are not personal and which have not been scheduled have never before been answered in this Parliament. Why do they appear in the document? So that they can be answered in writing. That is why they are there. And today is the first time this has happened, and we take very good note of the fact. If I had allowed Commissioner Nielson to speak for five or six minutes more – something which I had intended, or at least imagined doing – we would have used up the time, but the Commissioner, rather than speaking for 20 minutes, has spoken for 48 minutes, and we have therefore given him permission to leave, because he has spoken for an extra 28 minutes and we would have been asking too much of him. In the question put to Mrs Schreyer, nobody asked supplementary questions, and we therefore had five minutes left over. Then, a Member who had not asked any supplementary question, when the debate had ended, said, ‘then I will put a supplementary question now’. You witnessed that just as I did. I believe I have given you a full explanation in accordance with my competences, but I agree with you that there should be prior warning of the questions which are going to be replied to in writing. And other Members, like yourself, must be aware that these questions are not scheduled to be replied to orally. In accordance with the Rules of Procedure, since the time allotted to Questions to the Commission has elapsed, Questions Nos 41 to 74 will be replied to in writing. That concludes Questions to the Commission."@en1
