"Mr President, our parliament in the United Kingdom sat for 142 days last year and it was criticised widely for only sitting for that amount of time, yet we in Brussels and Strasbourg, in the plenary and mini-plenary, sit for just five days a month, and on three of those days it is only for part of a day that we actually sit.
We end up with a debate in this Chamber in which speakers’ microphones are cut off after 60 seconds, 90 seconds or two minutes, and we have no way of expanding on a point; we have no way of properly challenging a speaker; we have no means of proper scrutiny of proposed legislation that comes through.
Surely it would make more sense to have sufficient time allocated for proper reasoned debate. And those who actually believe in the structures and institutions of this place should surely welcome that.
I think my 60 seconds is up!"@en1
