Thank you. I raised my hand several times to ask for the floor. A little earlier, I was interrupted by Mr. McTeague. You allowed him to speak because he said that the floor should be given alternately to members of the different parties and that two representatives of a same party could not intervene in a row. He took the floor; I did not object. He put forward a motion, we voted, and I lost my right to speak. This time I will not lose it. I want to be a part of this debate. Let's be clear: no one else will table a motion before I have exercised my right to speak. That is not going to happen. I will not accept this. I asked you for the floor; you told me that you had not given me the floor, but you gave it to someone else and then you did not come back to me. This needs to be set right.
