Mr President, I owe Mrs Van den Burg an explanation with regard to the amendments. I did not bring the amendment numbers, so I will have to quote from memory, but Mr Bullmann will undoubtedly correct me if he thinks I am quoting the incorrect numbers.
Mrs Van den Burg, in order to reach a workable compromise, we will agree on Amendment Nos 4 and 5. Amendment No 7 will be based on the text by Mr Bullmann to which a sentence will be added. That is the oral amendment I was referring to. We will also agree on the second part of Amendment No 9 which starts with ‘calls on the Member States’, Amendment No 10 by way of supplement and Amendment No 12. I believe that is the complete list.
I would now like to respond to Mr Colom i Naval. He has probably been waiting for this all evening. Mr Colom i Naval, I would like to make this quite clear: content was not the issue. The reason why we were unable to talk about this before we voted on the amendments is that I was firstly in the United States with the delegation – you will have noticed my absence in the committee at the time – and then I was in Rome with my group. It was a slightly hectic month.
It was not a matter of content. The fact is that the European Commission took the Member States as its point of departure in its communication. I did the same in my report. If, in your report, you were to write about the effects of the European budgetary policy on employment, then I would gladly vote in favour of all your amendments, but they did not feature in the framework of my report. I apologise for the fact that we did not have an opportunity to talk about this."@en1
