lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I, too, should like to congratulate Mr Szejna on his report. In the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, our group could have quite happily added a whole load of things, but we whittled them down to a few points only, namely those also indicated by Mr Lehne, whom I should like to thank for his willingness to compromise. Like Mrs Berès, though, I think that what we have added to the amendments for the plenary is not in conflict with that compromise. I shall return to this point in isolation later. In his report, Mr Szejna has opted for a wide approach, which appeals to me. Unlike Mrs Cederschiöld, I think it important – and that was also subject of the debate that was held earlier this evening – that enterprises should not simply be the property of shareholders. Shareholders have shares, but enterprises are more than simply a piece of paper or an investment object. Enterprises function in the real economy where interests other than those of shareholders are at play. That is why I should particularly like to stress recital F and general point 3, the section concerning employee participation in corporate decision-making and the thesis that is expressed in this report that this should also form an integral part of corporate governance and of company law. I hope that Mr McCreevy can agree with Parliament on this and can ensure that this will also play an important part in future dossiers. In the light of the fact that it is of major importance that this cannot be circumvented by, for example, the European company and a change of office, we have tabled a number of amendments to that effect. I hope that Mr Lehne will revisit this issue – even though he does not seem to be listening at the moment – to see if he can support those."@en1
