lpv:translated text	". Madam President, basically, this is a good project, and is certainly worthy of our broad support here in Parliament. It will be far more convenient for ordinary people, but especially companies, if we can use just one set of payment details throughout Europe, and if direct debits and electronic billing are simplified. This is one of the most crucial issues in building a viable internal market. However, a practical problem has arisen, in that, once again, some countries have been more efficient than others in implementing joint decisions. As long as only some have adopted the system, there will not be much benefit to be had from it, the basic idea will not be realised and there will not be the savings made that we had hoped for. In fact, the system is even slightly bothersome for the citizens of countries that have introduced the changes. In my country, Finland, for example, people now have to use longer account numbers than before, which are all the more difficult to remember. Ordinary people have had to make a small sacrifice to start using the system, and while foreign payments ought to have become as easy as domestic payments, in actual fact, domestic payments have become as difficult as foreign ones. The reform, therefore, should not be left half-finished, and there should be no hesitation about completing it, so that the trouble it has caused will not have been in vain. On this basis, I would support an approach where the transitional periods for adopting the system must be as smooth and as short as possible."@en1
