lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I am very pleased to be part of this positive movement and this very interesting discussion. This, in fact, is the second pillar of the Pharma package that we are delivering and the third pillar, that of information to patients, has already had a very good report here in Parliament. I hope that we will be pushing this quite aggressively during the coming months. As you have said, and I agree, the emphasis is on protection of consumers. This is what the division should be in actions like the one we are taking today. A lot of work has been done. A lot of work still needs to be done to develop the details to make this directive operational. But even after that, we cannot rest on our laurels, happy that we have a nice piece of legislation that has a lot of technical details that are very avant-garde. We have to inform our citizens of what it means, and how they can utilise the tools that we are giving them with this directive so that they do not succumb to the pitfall of being drawn into purchasing falsified medicines. We will do everything in our power to ensure proper traceability. Inspections in third countries are important. We have to realise, however, that, for example, 80% of the ingredients that we use in what we produce in the European pharma industry come from third countries. Therefore, we have to be pragmatic. We also have to be selective in the type of inspections that we do. There are third countries that have very high levels of inspection and standards and we naturally have to cooperate with these countries to ensure that these standards are being kept to. In other countries that are not as proficient as these, we have to go and see with our own eyes and touch with our own hands. This is the policy we have to push forward. I am looking forward to working with Parliament in the next phases to make this work."@en1
