Mr President, first of all, I would like to thank the rapporteur, Mrs McCarthy, warmly for her work and her efforts to bring this project, which is very important for our citizens, to a satisfactory conclusion.
Like the rapporteur, I would also like to thank the former United Kingdom Presidency, particularly Baroness Ashton, for the work done in moving ahead with this important project.
As you know, this regulation on the European order for payment procedure aims at facilitating the mass recovery of uncontested claims in Europe. It is thus very important, as it will allow all creditors in Europe to recover their claims in a uniform way and more rapidly and cheaply than in ordinary court proceedings. It will also alleviate the burden on the courts by removing from ordinary proceedings those claims where the debtor does not contest the debt.
The proposal potentially concerns all citizens and economic operators in Europe. A European order for payment can circulate freely in Europe and will be enforced automatically. There will be therefore no need to request a declaration of enforcement – the ‘exequatur’ – in the Member State of enforcement.
Concerning the amendments, I can accept the third amendment as proposed. On the second amendment, I can accept the compromise amendment on the comitology procedure, which is in line with the Council decision taken in July 2006. On the first amendment, while I understand the reason and the concern expressed by the committee, I think that we should not at this stage reopen the question of the definition of a cross-border case, adopted at first reading by the Council and the European Parliament. At the same time, I can confirm that the Commission is available and willing to look more closely into the effects of the regulation for parties domiciled in third countries and, in particular, states of the European Economic Area. I am ready to give very careful consideration to any proposals."@en1
