Jeg indser, at dette ændringsforslag ikke var hensigtsmæssigt i dette tilfælde, som Rådet og Kommissionen sagde, men jeg vil gerne endnu en gang benytte lejligheden til at påminde om, at kontrolprocedurerne med importen i Den Europæiske Union ikke fungerer, at der begås svindel, og at denne svindel ikke alene skader fællesskabsskatteyderne, men det er også dårligt for det indre markeds funktion og endog for loyaliteten over for tredjelande.
Therefore, while recognising, as the Council and the Commission have said, that this amendment was not appropriate in this case, I would like to, once again, take the opportunity to point out that the procedures for monitoring imports in the European Union are not working, that fraud is being committed and that this fraud is not only bad for Community taxpayers, but also for the functioning of the internal market, and even for loyalty to third countries.
