"Mr President, an important step in the completion of the internal market is, of course, the Statute for a European Company. I shall devote my one minute of speaking time to this topic. Finally, after 20 years of discussion, we have an agreement in the form of a regulation due to enter into force in 2004. Parliament has given it its full backing and has even waived its codecision powers in order to save time. It now appears that our European businesses show little enthusiasm for the European Company. According to some reports, there are few, if any, businesses interested in changing into a European Company, the reasons being that it would be too time-consuming, with no immediate benefits and, above all, no uniform fiscal regime. Are the Council and the Commission aware of this lack of interest and of the risk that setting up a European Company is threatening to become a hollow exercise? Is there a certain strategy in order to encourage our businesses to become European companies?"@en1
