lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, I too wish to offer my sincere thanks to Mrs González Álvarez for her friendship and the good work that has been done. We already miss her here in Parliament. I also wish to thank the secretariat of the Committee on Petitions for its hard and successful work. With few increased resources, much more work has been done, and we have had quite a high profile. I think it has been a successful year. Since our last debate, Mr Perry’s report has become topical. We have the Earl of Stockton’s report on the Reverend Owen and Mrs Fourtou’s report, which has produced results concerning silicone breast implants. We shall also debate bush meat and multiple sclerosis. Unfortunately, we are getting no further when it comes to the Spanish water plan. We are nonetheless all agreed that, before enlargement, we must make progress in dealing with petitions, especially at the beginning of the work, and grasp the hand of cooperation extended by the Ombudsman about a year ago. I believe this to be important, especially before enlargement. One thing that worries me are the cases when complaints to the Commission, on the basis of Article 226, and petitions to the Committee concern the same sets of circumstances. There should be a code of honour so that the Commission publishes its answers to the questions specifically for the Committee on Petitions. Finally, I wish to say that our petitions operate as a kind of citizens’ initiative that will form part of the new Constitution."@en1
