– Before the final vote:

  Sylvie Goulard, rapporteur. – (FR) Madam President, I have nothing to add to what my fellow Members have said. The Presidency is not here, but I should simply like to point out that the majority of MEPs are very much in favour of a strong supervisory regime. I therefore hope that the Council will be able to take account of this fact when it sees how many States are also in agreement with us.

(Applause)

(The final vote was postponed)
