"Madam President, I think the debate has shown Parliament’s willingness – albeit with a variety of nuances – to support this new directive, which will provide concrete responses for small and medium-sized enterprises and millions of Europeans who are expecting the Union’s institutions to help them keep their jobs.
Since I was a Member of the European Parliament for many years, I must say I am delighted with the enormous effort made by the whole of Parliament, and particularly the rapporteurs, to move swiftly to adopt such an important piece of legislation. I would like to thank the Presidency and all those who have collaborated: the Commission staff, my office, the Belgian Presidency’s staff and the parliamentary assistants.
We cannot sit back, however, as someone suggested, but must make sure that these rules are adopted quickly by the Member States, which have 24 months at most to do so, although we hope some of them may take less time. I also assure you that the Commission will continue to closely monitor the ways in which the directive is transposed and implemented, and will take care to submit a report to Parliament according to the established timetable.
I thank you once again for your cooperation with the Commission and for the extraordinary result we have achieved in such a short time."@en1
