". − Ladies and gentlemen, I should like to emphasise just a few fundamental points which, in my opinion, still need to be addressed. In this case, we are dealing with one complaint. This complaint does not constitute a general rule, since reacting in a timely manner to citizens’ initiatives is fundamental and one of the most important obligations. I think that, on looking closely at the extent of the agenda, it becomes obvious that the Commission proceeds rigorously in these cases. This case was exceptional in that its consequences could have affected several individual Member States as a whole. Therefore, in 2004 the Commission used its discretionary right and proceeded as it did. At this moment in time, I think that time has clearly shown that it was not quite the best decision, but it is a decision which was within the discretionary options open to the Commission. I should like to say that cases of infringement involving a failure to observe the law in matters relating to the Working Time Directive are conducted at the normal tempo, since, as I have already said, whatever the very serious grounds for the decision were, time has shown that it was not the best decision."@en1
