lpv:translated text	". Mr President, sincere thanks first of all to the rapporteur and to those honourable Members who, like me, have worked on this matter for two years. We all felt slightly desperate when we next met with the Council and all the old obstacles surfaced yet again. In the end, though, an important principle gained acceptance: acting across borders – something that is increasingly common in the European Union – requires rules which are enforceable, clear and framed in a way that does not place the weaker party in an untenable position right from the start. Therefore, in this piece of legislation, what we have done is attempt to improve access to justice, to make the law comprehensible and clear. This brings us to a major difficulty: mutual recognition. Each of the 27 Member States represented in this House believes that its legal system, and its system alone, is the best in the world. However, if we are to work together, we must learn to recognise the decisions, documents, etc. of other systems. Hitherto there has always been a significant lack of trust in this area. Of course everyone, in any given instance, will be able to find an example of how his law is better than someone else’s. That does not mean, though, that it is always the case. I therefore think this is a good and important step. I think it is important that we have strengthened the position of the weaker party, and I think it is important that we have given consumers, who shop internationally these days, new ways of enforcing their rights faster, better and more clearly. Thank you too for the revision clause. We shall see if we can expand these matters further, but as I say, a revision clause takes care of that. I regard what we are proposing and will be voting on as an important step. It will not be the last, certainly not in this field of legal rules, but it will help us to show the public more clearly what the European Union can do, and what it does, on their behalf."@en1
