"Mr President, I want to reflect on all the dossiers as chairman of the committee and I want to say first of all that the biggest disappointment for the members of the committee – and especially Ms[nbsp ]Schaldemose and Ms Pietikäinen – is that we are not putting before you today a first-reading agreement with the Council.
We shaped our work so as to deliver a report at the end of October to give us time to do that, and Ms Schaldemose led that process for five years beforehand, as Ms Rühle pointed out, and the Commission incorporated a lot of ideas in its proposal. I think it is a real shame that we are not delivering to the consumers because of the one issue of ‘made in’, and Ms Durant gave the game away because she talked not about consumer safety but about reviving the European economy. I do not think that is the issue here; it is that we are letting down consumers because we are allowing this issue to block the whole dossier and the Council and Commission both have to do something about it.
I want to turn now, if I may very briefly, to Mr[nbsp ]Weidenholzer’s report, for which I was shadow. He says that it has come out as a good report and I just want to identify the focus of the work that we have been doing, which is what consumers are looking for. They want clear, independent, transparent information about the complex products that they are buying and they want to be able to switch suppliers quickly and easily. That is what is going to make the utilities market for consumers more effective."@en1
