".
Mr President, I would like to thank the honourable Member for his interest in the procedures which the Council follows when it answers questions put by Members of Parliament. As the European Affairs Minister, I will have the personal honour of answering your questions here in Council Question Time during the next six months.
With regard to reviewing the procedures, I would like to state that Finland, during its Presidency, wants to return to the practice where questions are answered in the order in which they have come to the attention of the Council, and the Presidency does not, therefore, intend to answer them by subject matter. This change notwithstanding, I would like to point out that the general principles on how questions asked the Council are dealt with will remain unchanged. Answers during Question Time will still be given in the name of the country to hold the Presidency.
It will also be the task of the Presidency to submit to the European Parliament written replies to questions which are not dealt with during Question Time owing to a lack of time. There are a lot of these this week.
As for the procedure for written questions, I might say that the Council is at present looking at ways to deal with the ever-growing number of questions."@en1
