lpv:translated text	". Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the directive on machinery we are looking at today revises a directive, as you said, dating from 1998. It is a highly technical subject, but it will have a major impact on the European engineering industry and on the European economy as a whole. I would like to remind you of the figures that Mr Verheugen has already quoted, which, in fact, are even better than the ones I had. I cannot resist reminding you that the annual turnover in the sector is EUR 402 billion, of which EUR 113 billion a year comes from exports to third countries. The first reading reflected a reasonable compromise reached after years of debates. I well remember that simply laying down the definitions of machinery and partly completed machinery took considerable commitment during the previous mandate. During the second reading, for my part, I paid particular attention to the provisions of that directive relating to CE marking, as I felt that the wording was insufficiently clear in legal terms. I am grateful to the Council for having accepted my amendment, but I am delighted that the Commission is working on this subject, which still needs to be looked into more deeply. I would like to thank the rapporteur for the way he led the negotiations. We were able to make considerable progress towards a common position thanks to the informal three-way talks he arranged, bringing together the chairman of the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection, the shadow rapporteurs, the representatives of the European Commission and those of the Council. We have reached a consensus awaited by all those in the industry. There are still some points that need to be clarified, particularly with regard to tractors, but I remain optimistic and I hope that the problems will be resolved by the effective implementation of this directive. As a consequence of this, the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe will vote for the compromise."@en1
