Bolkestein udtrykte min kollega, Véronique Mathieu, et ønske om, at der for hvert nyt fremsat forslag gennemføres konsekvensundersøgelser, for at virkningerne af den planlagte liberalisering bliver kendt, før bestemmelserne vedtages.
During Mr Bolkestein 's hearing, my colleague Véronique Mathieu asked for an undertaking "that any new proposals, once these are known, should be the subject of impact studies to determine the implications of this liberalisation programme before these provisions are adopted."
