lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner Kovǎcs, thank you for your answers. I would like to extend our thanks to the Commission staff that I have worked with, as well as members of the Committee on International Trade, such as Mr Musquar, and rapporteurs from the political groups, such as Mr Assis. I am also happy to see his colleague Mrs Lyubcheva here today, as we recently worked together on another matter. You were right, Mrs Roithová, to draw attention to the problem of 100% scanning, and thank you, Commissioner, for the resolve you have shown in defending us. It is not the first time that the EU has come under attack from the United States on these issues, since we also had to defend our customs system in a case brought before the WTO Dispute Settlement Body (DSB), which we won, partly down to the efforts of your staff, Commissioner. You were right to defend us. Mr Martinez has explained his theory on inverted tariffs to us. He also explained this to me back in December 2005, when we were in Hong Kong together. I still do not understand them, but I live in hope that one day I will be able to see how these inverted tariffs apply to mummies and dried fish. I would like to thank all of the political groups for the support they have shown for this report. I believe that people can now see that the world, which is becoming more complicated and fast-paced, would in the past have resolved conflict by a military war. Today, we have an economic and social war, rather than a military war. Instead of deaths, we have unemployment. In any case, we no longer really know who the enemy is. It is in this climate of a worldwide economic and social war that we need to have a strong customs union and import and export mechanisms that protect – and I am talking about protection, not protectionism – our businesses, citizens and the European Union in general."@en1
