Sven Giegold  (Verts/ALE ),
Blue-card question.
Madam President, I would just like to ask the Honourable Member one question.
Mr Chountis, I feel in full solidarity with the poor in Greece who are having to bear the cost of this crisis at the moment. I fully feel responsibility, and also co-responsibility, for the European integration project. But what I do not understand is this. You made very specific points on the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) and about what had to change, but I did not see you at the shadow meetings. We had a very open process to work on this. I did not see you or your staff. So I would like to know why you are now asking questions here on the report, when you had the responsibility and the opportunity to defend them yourself. This is doublespeak.
