– Before the vote on paragraph 2

  Enrique Barón Crespo (PSE). – (FR) Mr President, what we in fact need to do, having listened to the Commissioner’s explanations and in order to demonstrate Parliament’s goodwill and the Committee on International Trade’s willingness to cooperate, is to delete from paragraph 2, in which the Commission is mentioned, the adjective, which I will read out in English since that is the original language,

‘even’.

We also wish to insert the word ‘formally’, so the text concerned will read: ‘(...) the Commission did not send the proposed regulation formally to Parliament (...)’.

(FR) The text ‘formally to Parliament’ is therefore added. I believe that that is going to improve our relations with the Commission.

(The oral amendment was accepted)

That concludes the vote.
