We appreciate the two extra days that the Programming Sub-Committee is offering. Obviously, it will still not be possible to deal with the large number of consolidation clauses, which will have to be dealt with at some point. We would have preferred to have had the chance to come back after the summer recess to consider them and to consult on them externally. However, we are grateful for the extension of the sittings and support the view of the Programming Sub-Committee.
