European Parliament
Boogerd-Quaak (ELDR ),
rapporteur
(NL)
Mr President, I could not agree more with Mrs Buitenweg. As I understand it, this item will be discussed tomorrow, and I should like to draw your attention to the fact that not only will a speaker for and a speaker against be allowed to take the floor, but the rapporteur will also be given the chance to speak. I have to say that I think it will be an extremely difficult job to convince a full House of people who have not followed the entire process to date, but I rely on the fact that the speaking time to which the rapporteur is entitled will be available to me tomorrow.
(Applause)
