Quiero agradecer pues a la Comisaria Vassiliou y a la ponente Paliadeli su iniciativa y su trabajo, y quiero aprovechar la ocasión para recordar que, aunque al principio fuese una iniciativa de los Estados miembros, ahora tenemos que darle claramente una dimensión comunitaria.
I would therefore like to thank Commissioner Vassiliou and the rapporteur, Mrs Paliadeli, for their initiative and their hard work, and I would like to take this opportunity to say that, although initially, it was an initiative by the Member States, we now need to give it a clearly EU dimension.
