Jeg kan konstatere, at der vedrørende det grundlæggende i dagens forhandling er mange ligheder mellem Kommissionens og Europa-Parlamentets synspunkter, som de er udtrykt i de to udmærkede betænkninger af Pirker og Evans.
As far as the substance of today' s debate is concerned, I note that there is broad convergence between the Commission' s views and those of Parliament, as reflected in the two excellent reports by Mr Pirker and Mr Evans.
