lpv:translated text	". Madam President, on behalf of my group, I should like to join the previous speakers in congratulating the rapporteur. We all know that we have achieved a great deal together, and it is mainly thanks to her that we did so. The Council did not appear to be overly keen on reaching an agreement at second reading until a few weeks ago, and I believe that our awareness of what codecision entails set some wheels in motion in this respect. We were very conscious of the fact that the House must not allow itself to be intimidated by speeches given by certain Council members, and we were prepared to exercise our codecision rights and take the matter to the Conciliation Committee if it proved impossible to reach agreement beforehand in a civil manner. Mrs Ries has already said that a balanced compromise has been achieved, and we spent the same amount of time negotiating the issue around two weeks ago as we will spend debating it today. Needless to say, I am less than happy with this compromise from the point of view of my group, yet I believe that we have achieved the best that we could. We have obviously had to sacrifice some of our demands for the sake of compromise, but I am delighted that Parliament has made sure that the common position now gives clear priority to energy efficiency, rather than referring to it in very vague terms. In my opinion, this is essential in order for this directive to deliver results. I am also delighted that my demands for more consumer information were met. Mrs Ries has already said that it is important to provide consumers with information, for example on how energy can be saved when operating energy-using products, and many more such examples can be found. We are all aware that this directive is an effective instrument in the fight against climate change, yet at the same time we know that rigorous and effective parliamentary checks will be necessary in future, in order to ensure that the instrument upon which we have pinned so much hope will in fact be able to meet the demands we make of it."@en1
