"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I am grateful to everyone who spoke during the debate, because it means that there is interest in this proposal for simplification. That is why I wish to emphasise once again the advantages entailed by this choice and, hence, the benefits to be had from it.
I am talking here about advantages for consumers, instrument manufacturers and national administrations. I also wish to assure you, in response to the specific issue raised by Mrs Gebhardt, that the Commission is ready to conduct the studies necessary to re-examine the arguments in favour of harmonisation by April 2011.
In response to Mr Rossi, who criticised the Commission but has now left the Chamber – after making a criticism one would do well to listen to the response, too – there is a joint statement by Parliament, the Council and the Commission on this matter, which reads, and I quote: ‘in accordance with Article 25 of Directive 2004/22/EC on measuring instruments, the Commission is invited, by the European Parliament and by the Council, to report, before 30 April 2011, on the implementation of that directive and to submit, where appropriate, a legislative proposal’. As I said in my speech at the start of the debate, I intend to abide by that statement.
Thank you Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, for your commitment and cooperation. Lastly, on the subject of correlation tables, the Commission supports Parliament’s position."@en1
