lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, and also the rapporteur, who has done an excellent job, I am happy that a compromise has been reached, although the Council’s position did surprise me. The Council cut the Commission proposal down to the bone and initially tried everything possible to prevent the efficient functioning of this Agency. A start has been made, however. Nothing now stands in the way of the creation of a European agency, and I hope that the Council does not impose another blockade on the issue of finding the right seat for the Agency. It is important that initiatives developed by Member States and businesses with regard to network security are well coordinated at European level. After all, it is cross-border problems that are at issue here, and the jurisdiction of the Member States stops at the border. In addition, I am pleased that a role, if only an advisory role, is being reserved for industry in the composition and functioning of the Agency. After all, industry is the most important player regarding ownership and operation of networks, and we lay down the rules that determine that industry has to guarantee the functioning of the network. We must then also fill in the specific details. It is also important that, with this Agency, a body is established that can negotiate with other international players. In that way, the Agency can contribute to maintaining a healthy transatlantic relationship, which is essential in the sphere of security in general and network security in particular. It is incomprehensible to the Group of the European Liberal, Democrat and Reform Party why the Council remains committed to a two-thirds majority of votes as the basis for decisions by the Management Board on, among other things, the work programme and the appointment of the Director. This does make it very difficult to take proper decisions efficiently. Efficiency – what efficiency? In any case, it is good that a compromise has finally been reached, and so the ELDR Group will support the report by Mr Paasilinna."@en1
