lpv:translated text	"Mr President, over the past few months, we have followed with great interest the developments surrounding the Directive on takeover bids. At the start of the parliamentary discussion, it was already clear that only cooperation with the Council and the Commission could secure the proposal wide support. Consequently, the proposed compromise receives our approval. In particular, the recognition of employees' rights is a significant improvement on the original proposal. Despite this, we are also considering giving our support to a few amendments underlining the involvement of employees. Continuity and employment remain of major importance during takeovers. We welcome the fact that the proposal no longer includes a ban on temporary defence mechanisms. Countries such as the Netherlands and Germany were right to be completely opposed to this. We are not convinced by the rapporteur's arguments against adopting the amendment by the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs on employees' rights, and we would like to hear from Commissioner Bolkestein whether he will adopt it."@en1
