- (IT) Madame la Présidente, je veux m'associer à ceux qui ont remercié chaleureusement, et non rituellement, notre collègue Ferber pour son travail : un travail difficile à cause de la complexité du sujet, rendu encore plus compliqué par les limites et les retards de la proposition et de l'initiative de la Commission.
– (IT) Mr President, I would like to add my voice to those who have expressed genuine congratulations to Mr Ferber on his work rather than merely going through the motions. His task was made difficult by the complexity of the subject and further complicated by the limits of the Commission's proposal and the delays it suffered.
