– (DE) Mr President, I am sure there is not much we can do about tight schedules and fixed commitments, but if you had explained to the House from the Chair that Commissioner Fischler would have to be on board a plane by a certain time and for certain reasons, I am sure we could have avoided this conflict, because everyone would have seen sense.
- (DE) Monsieur le Président, nous ne pouvons certes rien contre les horaires serrés de certaines réunions mais si vous nous aviez averti plus tôt que le commissaire Fischler devait prendre un avion à telle heure pour telle ou telle raison, nous aurions pu nous épargner cette confrontation.
