- Before the vote:

  Toine Manders, rapporteur. − (NL) Mr President, I should once again like to thank everyone, including the shadow rapporteurs from the various committees and the Commissioner.

I hope we will approve the text, because it represents a huge step forward for consumer rights in Europe and will give the European tourism industry an enormous boost.

I therefore hope that my fellow Members will approve the compromise, and that we will take this important step towards optimising the internal market in one reading.

  President. – I declare voting suspended to make way for the formal sitting.

IN THE CHAIR: MR PÖTTERING
