"Mr President, I speak on behalf of the Committee on International Trade’s draftsman, Mr Sjöstedt, who is on Hong Kong with virtually all the other members of the committee apart from me. I am the only one left here. The Commission has requested urgency for an increase in commitment appropriations to Georgia for 2006-2007, to the sum of EUR 10.5 million. The Commission has already come to us asking for urgency at a very late date, on the issue of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Frankly, if we were dealing only with the issue of the Commission, we would say ‘no’ to urgency, but in this case the people who would lose out are the people of Georgia. It has taken the Commission 10 months to carry out an impact assessment, without even warning Parliament that the issue might be on the agenda.
However, we welcome the ‘velvet revolution’. We recognise that the Georgians need increased help. On that basis we will support urgency, but warn the Commission that, if it tries to do this again, we may have reached the limit of our tolerance."@en1
