- Hr. formand, fru kommissær, mine damer og herrer, jeg vil meget gerne tilslutte mig lykønskningerne af ordføreren med kvaliteten af hendes betænkning.
Mr President, Commissioner, I wish sincerely to thank the rapporteur, Mrs Kratsa-Tsagaropoulou for her forward-looking report on developing the service sector in such a way as to create new and, I would emphasise, important future jobs. I wish at the same time to express my pleasure and satisfaction at the fact that Mrs Kratsa-Tsagaropoulou, as rapporteur, and the committee as a whole have so kindly dealt with the many amendments I put forward.
