"Mr President, as the shadow rapporteur for Ms Weiler and the committee chairman who chaired the trilogues, I just want to add my very warm congratulations to her. Like me, she was a founder member of the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO), and we have worked together on many dossiers. I am really pleased that we have been able to have this debate, even though – as Mr van de Camp pointed out – it is late at night.
When we started work on this dossier, I do not think that any of us realised the amount of change that we actually needed to make it into a really good proposal. I think this is a really clear example of the important work that the IMCO Committee does – as a number of colleagues have said – perhaps below the radar. You have heard from many Members who have spoken this evening and that, in itself, is an indication of the engagement of our Members with this type of work. We have made some significant advances in such things as mobile chargers, but also in the construction of the whole directive.
I particularly want to thank the Commission, and your colleagues in DG Enterprise, for working with us to make a number of these changes, and indeed perhaps reversing some of their previous ideas about it. The Council also helped us. For my part, I was particularly pleased that the Commission has agreed to work to include all the details on the display screen of these mobile devices. This seems to me to be an important technical advance, which we had to fight for, and I am very pleased that Mrs[nbsp ]Weiler supported me in that.
So I will just say – because this will be her last appearance here, although we will be back in action in April – that you can see this evening why it is such a pleasure to be able to chair such an engaged, interesting and knowledgeable group of people."@en1
