Señor Presidente, quisiera empezar agradeciendo enormemente a la señora Meissner, nuestra ponente, su excelente informe y sobre todo su excelente cooperación con el Intergrupo sobre Mares y Zonas Costeras, que yo presido y que, mediante los buenos oficios de la señora Meissner, pudo asegurar que se aprobaran enmiendas sobre cuestiones de gran importancia para sus miembros.
Mr President, may I first say a very big thank you to Mrs Meissner, our rapporteur, for her excellent report and above all for her excellent cooperation with the Intergroup on Seas and Coastal Affairs, which I chair and which, through the good offices of Mrs Meissner, was able to ensure that amendments on issues of great importance to its members were adopted.
