Seeing that there is at present before the House a Bill to facilitate the accession of Spain and Portugal to the EC, would the Minister consider it desirable that the Ministers — they will now be 12 — should have established at the earliest possible opportunity a legal committee to consider cases where the legal procedure is so different in Spain, and in Greece for that matter, where Irish citizens have been held for long periods, to ascertain whether there could be some modification or change in that legal procedure which would make for more amity and harmony in the enlarged EC?

May I say that, when two Deputies stand at the same time, the Chair feels uncomfortable? I am sure Deputies would not wish that.

I must apologise. You are quite right, a Cheann Comhairle, to rebuke me. My apologies to the House also. Probably it is desirable that an effort should be made, in the context of the EC, in the fullness of time——

In the European Court——

——to bring the laws of the various countries closer together. But we must deal with the position as it obtains now and it obtains now is as I have outlined it in the House.
