"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, many thanks for the constructive comments at the end, and above all for the constructive cooperation. I do not want to repeat anything that has already been said. Therefore I would like to mention two items that, in my opinion, should be thought through as a follow-up to the discussion on this report. Firstly, the fact is that we have been dealing with Article 285 of the EU Treaty, which discusses the scientific independence of the statistical authorities. In this report we have now also placed a strong emphasis on professional independence as we have discovered that there have been difficulties in this regard in the past. It may also have to be enshrined appropriately in primary law at some point, to ensure long-term clarity. However, I would expressly like to add that, with regard to German law, this does not mean that there can be independence with respect to professional supervisory regulations.
Secondly, this report places setting priorities for producing statistical data and recording it very much in the foreground. Mrs Starkevičiūtė has also pointed this out. Commissioner Almunia, I hope that by setting these priorities we can also manage to reduce the statistical burden for medium-sized companies in the medium term, as we will be able to search for data which we actually need for our statistics in an even more targeted way. With this in mind, thank you very much. I hope that the vote is completed quickly tomorrow."@en1
