Thank you, Madam President. I wished to make a very brief comment and make two procedural points which I believe may facilitate the vote on this report during tomorrow’s plenary sitting.
My comment is that the President-in-Office of the Council has no need to apologise for his Spanish, which I believe to be excellent, as is his will to contribute to the harmonious partnership between the Commission, the Council and Parliament. His presence in Bregenz demonstrated this.
My other two observations, Madam President, relate to Mr Romagnoli’s initiative to present an amendment on the agricultural reform. I regret that Mr Romagnoli has not presented this amendment within the time limit allowed for such presentation according to the Rules of Procedure, but if the other Members support it, I have no objection to accepting an oral amendment tomorrow in plenary.
With regard to Mr Meyer’s comment, I would like to say to Mr Meyer that the Bregenz Declaration is inspired by this Parliament’s report, rather than this Parliament's report being inspired by the Bregenz Declaration. You are perfectly aware that, if I was prepared to make a concession in the negotiation of the final document, it was out of a spirit of consensus and not because I did not have a large majority in support of the positions we have adopted.
What I would like to say to you, however, Mr Meyer, most affectionately and frankly, is that when I vote or speak on my own behalf or on behalf of my political group, I do so in full acceptance of any significance it may have, and, although I have never asked you for this, I would nevertheless be willing to change the reference to the Euro-Latin American free-trade area for the reference requested by Mr Romeva, who is not currently in the Chamber, and replace it with an area of global inter-regional partnership, in the three paragraphs in question, which are paragraphs 6, 21 and 66.
That was the comment I wished to make, Madam President, for the sake of consensus, and I believe that tomorrow this Parliament will be able to respond in a united fashion, in order to ensure, amongst all of us, that this Summit is a success, above all thanks to the efforts of the Commission and of the Presidency-in-Office of the Council."@en1
