"Thank you Mr President. Commissioner, I shall not repeat what my colleagues have already said. I will only ask you some specific questions regarding things that you have said as well. Firstly, referring to the tourism forum which took place in Malta, where you had said that the streamlining of regulations regarding the tourism sector is about to begin. How far has this streamlining process come? How far have we come from the two hundred and fifty different rules affecting the tourism sector? Secondly, what can we do in order to exercise more pressure for the restaurant sector to be eligible for a reduced VAT rate? We may talk and say many nice things, yet this sector is in need of practical help. At the end of the day, we need concrete measures to be taken. Thirdly, has there been a study of the impact which the increase in Visa payments for non-EU citizens to enter the EU will have on the tourism sector, on which many of the regions here represented depend? Finally, we also need to take a look at our regulations, and see how these are affecting the competitivity of our ports as regards cruise liners and the business they bring with them.
Thank you."@en1
