"Mr President, I very much hope that even at this very late stage, right up to the wire, we can achieve a compromise on this package between the three institutions. Others have mentioned the conclusions of the Lisbon Summit but there are other needs for a conclusion: the needs of industry for early clarity about the new rules, the need of European citizens for cheap, efficient competitive telecommunication services, the needs of European Union businesses for education, for research, for societal applications. I particularly want to ask about the rights of disabled users and to put a specific question to the Commission on the compromise presidency text. It is important, not just for social reasons, but for access to employment for disabled users. I would like to ask Commissioner Liikanen whether in his view the presidency compromise encompasses those points of principle contained in both the framework directive and the universal service directive. There have been serious criticisms by disabled users about non-implementation of the RTTE directive and this is a crucial point for many of us. Parliament has rightly supported carefully delineated powers for the Commission and understands also that some qualification is essential. There is a need for clear rules consistently applied within national regulatory authorities and between regulatory authorities. The powers for the Commission need to be circumscribed and time-limited, as indeed they were in Parliament's amendments and in the presidency compromise. I very much hope that when we vote on Wednesday we will have reached an agreement between the political groups and between the three institutions."@en1
