lpv:spoken text	"I thank you, Commissioner, for that reply. It is quite clear that you have identified the situation and are taking some action. However, could you not take action more rapidly? This problem was brought to my attention by a constituent in the city of Leeds who has a small company selling DVDs – the kind of materials you mentioned – and employs 31 people. A company based in the Channel Islands, which operates a lot of its activities quite legitimately from the UK mainland, is seriously threatening his business. This is a serious problem. By setting up a task force you have recognised that it is a serious problem across the Union. Given how long this has been going on – you mentioned the directive going back to 1983 – how long will it be before your task force produces proposals for action? Whilst I accept that Member States may have an interim option to adopt measures which would save companies from this unfair competition, please could you tell us when you are going to save everybody in the Union from it and take some action through the task force?"@en1
