I have to tell honourable Members that Amendment No 3 cannot be accepted, not for reasons of principle but mainly for reasons of practicality. While the Commission will, of course, draft a report on the application of this regulation, it is simply not realistic to do so before the end of 1998.
Selvom Kommissionen naturligvis vil udarbejde en beretning vedrørende gennemførelsen af forordningen, er det ganske enkelt ikke realistisk at søge at gøre dette før udgangen af 1998.
