Derfor befinder vi os nu i den situation, at vi må bevilge en forlængelse af tidsfristen. For som ordføreren sagde, er det fjollet, hvis alle medlemsstater endnu en gang skal udstede særregler for en bestemt periode.
We therefore find ourselves in the situation of having to concede an extension to the time limit for, as the rapporteur said, it would be senseless if all Member States were now going to have to issue further individual regulations for a set period of time.
