Jeg stemte for Zwiefka-betænkningen, da jeg mener, at det er meget vigtigt at indføre en procedure, som gør det muligt for medlemsstaterne at forhandle internationale aftaler om spørgsmål, der henhører under fællesskabets enekompetence, i tilfælde hvor fællesskabet har besluttet ikke at udøve sin kompetence.
I voted for the Zwiefka report as I believe it is very important to establish a procedure allowing Member States to negotiate international agreements on matters falling within the exclusive competence of the Community, in cases in which the Community has decided not to exercise its competence.
