Hr. formand, fru næstformand, hr. formand for Rådet, det glæder mig, at vi i dag er sammen - efter de sidste måneders mange diskussioner - og kan konstatere, at alle tre institutioner - de to lovgivningsinstitutioner og forslagsmyndigheden, Kommissionen - er af den opfattelse, at forordningen naturligvis skal træde i kraft i maj i år.
Mr President, Madam Vice-President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, I am happy that we are here together today, after all the discussions over recent months, and can confirm that all three institutions - the two legislative institutions and the Commission as the proposing authority - take the view that the regulation has to enter into force in May of this year.
