lpv:translated text	"Madam President, obviously, I would like to thank my fellow Members for all the comments they have made. I am not going to mention them one by one, as this is not my intention. I think that if any doubts existed as to the meaning of the word commitment, it has become very clear here what it means. We do not all have perfect proposals, but more important than knowing whether a proposal is perfect is knowing that we have an instrument in our hands which will allow us not to have to put off the protection of our patients’ health any longer. We are also bound not to delay its adaptation; we are bound not to delay putting it into action; and we can only do this if we work together. I must also say personally – and the Commissioner mentioned the issue of inspections – that in my initial proposal, I presented a change to mandatory inspections in third countries. This is our commitment and yet we win in some areas and we lose in others. The Commission explained to us that this would be impossible to achieve. I would like to mention something else with regard to this commitment. I think that we all see ourselves as being committed, but I also think and am aware that we must all demand that it is honoured because, otherwise, it will not be effective. This commitment contains guaranteed safeguards to ensure that we can follow the procedure, assess it and have systematic access to information which will allow us to verify whether or not it is being put into practice as it should be, and whether it is necessary to make some changes. I would therefore like to end by thanking the European Commission for its collaboration and, in particular, the Spanish and Belgian Presidencies with whom we have been working over the last six months. There is no such thing as a perfect proposal, no such thing as a perfect action; there will always be flaws, but I think we have a strong and robust commitment which will allow us to fight for and defend patients’ health. As my own speech is also full of flaws, I failed to thank my fellow Members, Mrs Bastos and Mrs Sartori, for the opinions of the other committees. Thank you also for your support."@en1
