lpv:translated text	"Madam President, as we all know, it was the issue of a comprehensive and rapid ban on animal experiments carried out in the context of cosmetics testing that was the big issue in this conciliation. The agreement we reached has encountered criticism from many quarters. Animal protection organisations, in particular, have criticised it on the grounds that it will take too long to implement the ban. I agree with that criticism. I think we could have made faster progress. It is, however, important to criticise those who deserve criticism. If it had been the European Parliament that had decided the issue, matters would in fact have proceeded more quickly, and the ban might already have been in place by now. The fact is that the body that should be criticised in this case is the EU Council of Ministers. Certain Member States, in particular, did everything to delay the ban. It is the European Parliament that should have the credit for the ban’s being introduced. The person who definitely deserves most praise in this context is our rapporteur, Mrs Roth-Behrendt. I have rarely seen more energetic, competent and vigorous leadership of a parliamentary delegation in a conciliation, and it felt very good being able to collaborate with Mrs Roth-Behrendt. I should like to thank her for her brilliant efforts."@en1
