Finally, to conclude, I would like to say a word to Mr Kovács - it is quite rare to be able to say goodbye to someone on the very evening that their mandate is ending - and, above all, to give a piece of advice to the Commissioner-designate, Mr Šemeta, whose initial steps in this area we have welcomed, just as we have welcomed the initial steps of the Barroso II Commission, which seems determined to tackle the issue, especially by entrusting Mr Monti with the task of drafting a report on the internal market containing all of these aspects.
Infine, per concludere vorrei dire una parola di commiato al commissario Kovács: capita piuttosto di rado di poter salutare qualcuno la sera stessa in cui il termina suo mandato.
