European Parliament
Bushill-Matthews (PPE-DE ).
Mr President, during Commission Question Time at the last part-session 34 questions were tabled by MEPs but only eight received answers, which is a new record. This is because the Commissioners took on average nearly ten minutes for each answer. Would you please ask the incoming Commission – assuming that there is one – to voluntarily submit to the sensible rules of this House, whereby speaking time is measured and limited? This may permit Members to ask more questions and, I hope, receive more answers.
