European Parliament
President. –
I know that the rapporteurs and draftsmen have put in a great deal of work, but I am afraid I must ensure that the schedule is observed. The draftsmen of opinions had two minutes’ speaking time and they exceeded that time by 40 seconds or a minute, or even a minute and a half, in the case of the last draftsman. I would ask the Members to stick as closely as possible to the speaking time allocated to them.
