lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I am pleased that you knew I was here and that I was going to speak. You know that I do not usually speak too long. I will simply explain the amendments presented by Mr Berenguer, who is unable to attend. These are Amendments Nos 2, 3 and 4. Amendment No 2 deals with the possibility of freeing the distributor by means of the return of contributions once the contract has finished. The formula used is contained in section 147 of the Commission guidelines on this subject, which is known as the investment depreciation period. The possibility should exist, in certain circumstances, of freeing the distributor by means of a reintegration of the investment. In other words, the distributor should not be permanently bound by the initial investment of the producer. Amendment No 3 refers to the setting of prices by the producer – the resale price – in certain cases, such as the launch of the product. There are certain cases in which this setting of the resale price can be justified. This is referred to in sections 38 and 39 of the Commission guidelines, but it is clear that, in certain cases, we have to provide flexibility and we are sure that the Commission will understand this. Lastly, Amendment No 4 refers to the protection of producers against pressures applied by the distributor to force them to extend the contract. We are talking about exclusive contracts, sections 131 . Finally, these amendments are simply intended to be a reminder of certain specific aspects, but it is clear that both the guidelines proposed by the Commission and Mrs Thyssen’s report move within boundaries which are reasonable and practical. We hope that the Commission will administer these guidelines in a flexible way so that, on the one hand, market competition is guaranteed and, on the other, we do not create situations of enslavement or limitation of economic activity with regard to the distributors."@en1
