lpv:spoken text	"I want to compliment Mrs Wallis on the preparation and the presentation of her report. I broadly welcome this report and I want to focus in particular on Amendment No 20, Recital 26 (new), which states that the Commission will consider proposals for the establishment of a Centralised Electronic European Union Causebook and Judgment Registry Database. This has been justified very clearly in the report. It is pro-citizen and it is pro-consumer and I would strongly urge the Commissioner to consider this proposal favourably, particularly in view of the fact that it is so pro-consumer and pro-citizen. I would strongly urge the Commission to consider it favourably as we now live in a global network with a global economy, global companies. But we have yet to establish an infrastructure to enable the Brussels Convention, as amended and extended, to benefit our EU consumer citizens and to attract inward investment. It is necessary to establish the causebook which has been inspired by a proposal from an Irish lawyer, Twinkle Egan who has worked diligently on this initiative for some years. At the expense of repeating myself, this will ensure that it is to the citizens’ advantage. This system has the advantage of having already been vetted by many reputable institutions including the International Bar Association. The system has the attraction of being capable, of extension, to synchronising the international legal system of the global world in which we now live and trade. The system would enable citizens of the Community and others to have prompt and easy access to authoritative and up-to-date information in relation to the existence and progress of trans-border litigation in which they may have a legitimate interest. This system would also provide efficiency in obtaining and enforcing judgments within the EU."@en1
