Arvoisa varapuheenjohtaja, olette ollut erittäin varautunut, ja tällä tarkoitan, ettette ole kertonut meille mitään. ###>In this context, the views of Parliament are important, and I am therefore pleased to participate in your debate today. I conclude by repeating that we, in the Commission, share the objective of parliamentarians to safeguard and enhance the Community method, and the role of the Commission and Parliament in this process.
