". Mr President, although this topic is, of course, less exciting than the previous one, it is an important one nevertheless. I would like to thank you warmly for the opportunity I have been given briefly to clarify my report. Over the past few weeks, we have been involved in tough negotiations with the Council to reach an agreement at first reading and ultimately, we reached a compromise, one that I regard as highly defensible. Of the 24 amendments that were adopted in the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, 20 have been incorporated, either wholly or in part, in the compromise document. Nevertheless, I should like to comment on the spirit in which these negotiations were held. In my opinion, we were operating on the brink of what is still acceptable. Time and time again, the Council presented us with new changes, while proving indifferent to those proposed by the parliamentary delegation. That is regrettable, and I hope that in future negotiations on other issues, we can expect a somewhat more cooperative attitude from Council representatives. I would like to make one final remark with regard to Amendment 53, which is also part of the compromise package, but which, unfortunately, not all groups were able to support. Nevertheless, I would like to point out that, as agreement at first reading is dependent on this amendment being adopted, I am relying on everyone’s support and should also like to thank the shadow rapporteurs for the part they played in helping this agreement to come into being."@en1
