lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I voted in favour of this report and I wanted to take this opportunity to say what a pity it is that the European Parliament and the European institutions are not as popular as they might be with the electorate and the people of the European Union because we are not in a position to respond appropriately and quickly to problems which arise and which we are aware of. We have already seen this once this week with the transport of animals and now we are seeing it again with cross-border payments. Over the years the public have become angry and have been forced to suffer losses, and now we are in the situation that we are lagging behind; hopefully this initiative of Mrs Peijs will now at least be implemented quickly. As early as the time of the introduction of the euro I brought this issue to the attention of the Commissioner responsible, Mr Monti, and I asked the Commission to take action on it as quickly as possible. As we can see it has taken years, and that is a shame because so much damage has been done. I believe – to stress this once more – that we need to listen more closely to what members of the public have to say, pay more attention to their problems and then take appropriate action. I should also like to add that I had indicated that I wished to make an explanation of vote on the Flemming report. Obviously this will no longer be necessary."@en1
