question:
Mr President, Commissioner, as proof that this Parliament has not yet overcome its role as a consultative and subordinate institution, the excellent report by a fellow member of my Group, Elisabeth Schroedter, has not been able to reach plenary sitting because the plans for regional development for the period 2000-2006 for Objective 1 regions have been sitting in the Commission' s offices for several months.
answer:

Señor Presidente, señor Comisario, Señorías, como prueba de que este Parlamento aún no ha superado la fase de institución consultiva y subordinada, el excelente informe de mi colega de Grupo Elisabeth Schroedter no ha podido llegar al Pleno, porque los planes de desarrollo regional para el período 2000-2006 de los territorios de objetivo 1 ya llevan varios meses en los gabinetes de la Comisión.
