"Mr President, I too would like to congratulate you on an excellent start to your presidency. This debate has shown that there is much support and much appetite in this House for reform, in this lively exchange we are having in the catch-the-eye procedure at the end of this debate.
You were kind enough to refer to my own report, which hopefully will be on the agenda at the next part-session. We are building quite a broad consensus on the bulk of the proposals contained in my report. In the last few days many groups have been kind enough to invite me to address their meetings and to engage in building this consensus. I am now quite confident that there will be a majority next month in favour of a useful package of reforms that will not solve all our problems – far from it – but will be a useful step forward.
To those colleagues who feared that there may be elements of my report which are unfavourable to the smaller groups, I would like to reassure them. There is nothing that significantly undermines the position of the smaller groups in my report. If they continue to have fears, I shall be very happy to meet them to try to find a solution to any issue they wish to raise. My preferred solution is to persuade them, but I am open to other solutions if we can find them. This will be a useful part of the reform process and I thank you very much for your support."@en1
