Hr. formand, kære kolleger, på vegne af min kollega, hr. Nielson, vil jeg gerne starte med at takke ordføreren, fru Zrihen, for det fremragende og konstruktive samarbejde under hele medbestemmelsesproceduren og navnlig siden afstemningen under førstebehandlingen i december sidste år.
Finally, I dare to hope, Commissioner, Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, that the next time we renew this regulation we will finally obtain a substantial increase in the budget, as well as an impact assessment on the type of work carried out and a summary broken down by country and by area of actions.
