".
Mr President, thank you. As you have requested it, I will indeed keep it brief. First of all, I should like to thank the various Members for their observations. It was very useful for me as President of the Council to hear your observations and we will certainly take them on board in our further discussions on this topic right up until Christmas. Thereafter, we will, of course, be handing the torch to our successors in Luxembourg. I have already addressed most of the questions in my first speech and the other questions are directed at the Commission, but I would like to assure you that the Presidency will be making every effort to take the discussion on the resolution as far as it can in the coming months, and in doing so, to involve all parties as effectively as possible, including the European Parliament. I would also like to note that the Netherlands can very much identify with some of your questions, particularly those about the rules of origin, about product cover and preferential margins.
Finally, I should like to warmly thank Commissioner Pascal Lamy for a fruitful cooperation over the past couple of years. We have made a lot of progress in the WTO and in the European Union because of your personal commitment, your analytical capabilities and your endurance. You have run a marathon in the past years and while doing so you have left some footprints that we will be able to follow in the years to come. So, Pascal, thank you
