Herr talman! ###>– Mr President, I too would like to start by thanking most warmly everyone involved in the work that we are now bringing to a conclusion – as the rapporteur mentioned, we spent four years working together on it, and it was, for me, one of the best experiences I have had in the European Parliament, involving getting to grips with a great deal of highly complex material. Let me thank the Commission, and also the Commissioner, who again reminded us today how very important this legislative project is in economic terms.
