"Mr President, I simply wished to say to Mr Iturgaiz that we are not here to hold a Spanish debate on national or regional television stations and that we have 15 000 petitions from citizens from all parts of Europe. I would, however, like to focus on Mr Cashman's report and congratulate him warmly on it and on his many intelligent conclusions. I would also like to join him in thanking our administrators and the secretariat of the Commission and I entirely support his call for more resources, for greater representation of the Committee on Petitions in Parliament – since there are Members who wish to take part in it but who cannot do so because of its limited number of members – and an improvement in the cooperation with the Commission. I would like to raise three questions or concerns that have occurred to me as a result of the immense vivacity and liveliness of the debate in this Committee, which is fascinating. Firstly, perhaps the need from now on to analyse how admissibility can move on from the purely bureaucratic to the political field, as happens in other institutions, such as the Council of Europe. Secondly, I would also like to say that the time periods involved and the Commission’s unacceptable delays in telling us its opinion and, above all, in making decisions, sometimes lead to considerable losses. I would therefore like to thank Commissioner Wallström for her willingness to improve this situation in the future and to prevent delays. In some cases these delays have given me the impression that, when it comes to communicating their decisions, other institutions, such as the Commission and even the Ombudsman, rather than cooperating, have used the members of the Committee on Petitions."@en1
