". – Mr President, could I first of all very briefly thank both Mr Harbour and Mr Medina Ortega for their very hard and effective work in drawing up this report.
During the extensive debate on the report, and indeed during the useful and open debate on the oral question on pensions yesterday evening, I gave details of the many amendments which the Commission can readily accept and I also indicated those which we are not able to accept. The amendments which cannot be accepted by the Commission – there is not a very long list – are Amendments Nos 16, 22, 23, 24, 37, 39, 53, 55 and 63.
This is not a long list, easily available in translation in all languages!
I shall pay particular attention to the amendment on Members' assistants, as it is a matter of concern in this House. I can only repeat at this juncture that the Commission is aware of, and sympathetic to, the concerns that have been raised in Parliament. I consequently hope that representations will eventually have the effect of resolving this important employment issue by breaking the interinstitutional deadlock in a positive way.
In postponing the vote on the legislative resolution, I understand that the House is seeking to provide itself with an opportunity to exert pressure on outstanding matters of concern at a later stage. I hope I do not exceed my brief when I say that I urge the House to follow its intended course in a timely way. I am absolutely certain that the rapporteurs fully comprehend the necessity of doing so.
I look forward to that final vote."@en1
