lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to join in thanking our Committee Chairman for an excellent report that is consistent with our previous reports and also incorporates all our suggestions. I am particularly grateful because I see this report as following on from the report on public–private partnerships – an approach that is very appropriate and also helpful. I think the rapporteur makes excellent proposals, which, in principle, bring us closer to the realisation of the internal market. However, the criticism she mentions deserves consideration by us all, including the public. The fact that the main reasons are ‘lack of national legal expertise or human resources and the lack of political will in the Member States’ is indeed an indictment. We expect proper behaviour from our neighbouring countries, from Asia and Africa, yet we are not meeting our own objectives. I do not want to limit my speech here to accusations, but all the judicial proceedings taking place in this connection are annoying, unnecessary and expensive. That is why it is important that we take action in this field and also support the Commission’s activities. I should like to reiterate that it is good that environmental and social criteria are being publicised more widely. It is very surprising that, in Member States, it is SMEs, in particular – the upholders of our economic innovative capacity – who are for the most part unaware of the possibilities, and that the public in our Member States mostly think they need concern themselves with only the cheapest tenderers and not be guided by other criteria. I should like to conclude by expressing my thanks for the constructive cooperation I have received. It was so good that I recommend that all those who have tabled amendments withdraw them."@en1
