I lyset af de nye regler i Lissabontraktaten, som gør, at Parlamentet kan knyttes meget tættere til indgåelsen af internationale aftaler, og den kendsgerning, at Liechtenstein har indgået den pågældende aftale, som har været i kraft siden den 1. juli 2005, støtter jeg Parlamentets beslutning om at godkende indgåelsen af denne protokol.
In view of the new rules of the Treaty of Lisbon, which allow Parliament to be associated with the conclusion of international agreements in a much closer way, as well as the fact that Liechtenstein has concluded the agreement in question, which has been in force since 1 July 2005, I support Parliament's decision to give its consent to the conclusion of this protocol.
