European Parliament
A6-0193/2006
President.
Thank you very much, Commissioner.
Colleagues, I should just like to remind those who were not here earlier why we have had problems today with the timing of the debate. Commissioner Mandelson decided to speak for 28 minutes instead of the 12 or 15 minutes maximum. We must clarify such things in the relationship between Parliament and the Commission. We cannot solve it today, but that is what causes the problems. I apologise for the fact that voting time has had to be delayed.
