".
Mr President, I shall be brief because no questions have been addressed to the Commission and therefore I can confine myself to making the following remarks.
The common position which was sent to Parliament for second reading is clearly a compromise. The main issue at this stage is whether it is possible to improve it without opening a Pandora's box and possibly jeopardising what has been achieved so far.
I am well aware that this proposal is complex and sensitive. Difficult choices have to be made among competing interests. We believe that the common position preserves a generally satisfactory balance and it is with the aim of seeking further improvements, whilst maintaining this balance, that the Commission will consider the amendments adopted by Parliament.
In conclusion, I should like once again to thank the rapporteur, Mr Manders, and may I also thank you, Mr President, for giving me the floor a second time in this debate."@en1
