lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, first of all I would like to apologise to everybody, because I find – and I have been here now for five years – I have never, ever tabled more than either one split or separate or one or two amendments to a report, and across all three of these reports I see myself having tabled a whole raft of amendments. It is not the way I prefer to work and it is not the way I want to go, but I have to say I felt that on all three reports it is a necessity because, far from Parliament making it easier and helping with the simplifying agenda which, we are told, is the motivation behind this framework legislation, we were simply in danger of making them so complicated and in many cases contradictory within the text that we would end up with what we call in English a dog’s breakfast. Having made that point, let me just make one or two points specifically on the reports. First of all on official controls: my main point here is on fees. The Commission proposal is that these should be levied. I believe very strongly that this should be ‘fees may be levied’. I absolutely accept that Member States must put into place adequate resources to carry out the functions that are required under this official control legislation, but to require that fees must be charged when they are not currently charged is, I think, entirely wrong; it will lead to micro-management at a level which will just cause problems. Each Member States has different economic, practical and delivery conditions, and that is how it should stay. So I would urge people to support my Amendment 343, which uses the wording ‘may’ rather than ‘shall’."@en1
