lpv:translated text	"− Mr President, may I first of all thank the speakers, and please allow me also to thank my fellow Members who helped me a great deal in this, my first report, which, as Mr Méndez de Vigo said, will hopefully not be the last. I have some very brief comments on what has been said. Mr Papastamkos is right to say that the report is the outcome of conciliation, because that is what actually happened. However, it is the outcome of conciliation between political groups in the best sense of the term. In other words, it is not the lowest common denominator, but represents the common ground we have been able to agree on and what I think are more reasonable and democratic solutions. I believe this resolution is democratic precisely because it allows proceedings to develop in the most appropriate way. Mrs Esteves has quite rightly said that we should not make excessive use of plenary sittings. How true! For this reason the logic here is that we should go to plenary only when absolutely necessary; in other words, only when it is necessary to amend a decision already taken by Parliament. Mrs Roithová also quite rightly pointed out that the role of the Committee on Legal Affairs is important; it is exercised in accordance with the way the regulation is formulated. In other words, the Committee on Legal Affairs is heard at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of proceedings. Let me say here, and I did not do so the first time, that when in exceptional cases the Committee on Legal Affairs does not have time to give an opinion, the President alone may reach a decision. However, in this case too, it is expressly stated, with an explanation, that the Committee on Legal Affairs should be allowed to submit its decision in whatever way it thinks fit. Thank you all very much."@en1
