"Mr President, thank you very much. I want to thank all my colleagues who have contributed and have been almost embarrassingly kind about the work I have done. Like all things in our committees, it has been a shared activity, but I thank them very much. I see that all my shadow rapporteurs have disappeared, because clearly it is getting late, but I just want to record my thanks, as well as to Mr Schwab, as I mentioned earlier, to Mr Manders, Mr Repo and the very hard-working Mrs Rühle from the Green Group.
We have covered a number of the aspects. I just want to reflect on the fact that we are now firmly in the implementation stage. We have had difficult discussions on a lot of internal market issues. We have discussed comitology. I await with interest the Commission’s latest view on our compromise proposals, but I would just like to say that we are keen that Parliament should continue to monitor what is going on.
We do not have a specific role in the implementation procedures, but it is not satisfactory (and I am sure colleagues would agree) for us simply to pass legislation and then not see how it works in practice, particularly because of the length of time between these amendments. So I would regard this as being, for my committee and for our successor committees, something that will be a continuing file to follow. We have put in specific review provisions – particularly, as the Commissioner says, about future enhancements in areas like environmental performance on both emissions and noise.
The observant among you will have perhaps spotted that there has been a very long time between the committee vote, which was in June last year, and bringing this to Parliament. That is because the specialists in the Council – the naval architects and specialists – do not meet that often, but we felt that, rather than precipitate a second reading, we would send them our first reading and all the data and the impact assessments, and then we would let them come to a conclusion and then we would put a final package together. That was signed during the Irish Presidency, and I particularly want to thank Michael Klein, who was leading that, because he was instrumental – together with the Commission services and my colleagues – in getting this agreement.
That concludes this procedure. I look forward to a resounding endorsement of this proposal tomorrow."@en1
