"Mr President, it is true that we in the Conference of Presidents took a decision for which I feel responsible, even though I was unable to be there personally, but I accept my responsibility. Two points must be emphasised, however.
Firstly, we in the Conference of Presidents take decisions which we communicate when there is a group meeting. The group meeting held in my political group, as in others, with the colleagues whom I consulted, disagreed with the decision that we had taken, perhaps too quickly, in the Conference of Presidents.
Therefore, I propose to you that it should be in the Bureau that the group chairs present in this House reassess the situation. As you know, everyone is calling for change, but changing something is not as easy as people think. That is the first point.
Secondly, I would like all the same to remind you, ladies and gentlemen, of all the debates that have been held here with the President of the Commission. One may agree or disagree with him, but there are 27 Commissioners present in the Chamber – yes, indeed, the 27 Commissioners are usually present during these debates – and President Barroso takes the floor, before the group chairs, and the Chamber is empty.
That is why I support the President of Parliament in saying that we should not apply what we had envisaged in the Conference of Presidents, that we should review it, that we should discuss it again within the various political groups and that we should apply the old method, but by calling on all the Members to take a responsible approach to the major debate on Europe that we are going to have here, in this Chamber, tomorrow morning.
I therefore call for a sensible analysis from the Bureau, perhaps more sensible an analysis than that of the group chairs present here, and we shall, of course, pursue democratic debate, which is how we shall make progress."@en1
