". – Mr President, I thank the Commissioner for his statement. I echo the thoughts of the previous speaker in thanking him for a balanced and considered report. That is perhaps in stark contrast – as our group wanted to say – to the way in which this House has had to deal with this resolution. I believe that we all wanted to have an exchange of views with you tonight, but to be bounced into a resolution was perhaps not the way to answer a considered report. For five people in a room until midnight last night to be trying to think up a resolution is not the way to deal with this sensitive and difficult issue. If Parliament looks at this issue again, it should do so with a proper parliamentary report, developed in the fullness of time through a committee and with mature debate, not in the way that this has been produced.
It seems to me that some colleagues would wish to revisit the directive by way of a resolution concocted over 24 hours. Clearly we have to do that with much more time and better thought. As for the idea of a legal action, it was quite clear last night that Parliament’s Legal Service considers that we have neither the status nor the right to take such action. Our group has taken the view that we should seek at present to maintain the status quo, welcome the report and wait for the proper time to give this very delicate issue the proper space it deserves for full debate and consideration."@en1
