I would like to start by congratulating the rapporteur on his report and agreeing very strongly with the remarks he has just made. I suggested a single amendment during the committee stage of the debate, which was accepted by the committee, regarding the need for Member States to put in place a proper system of spot checks, inspections and controls to ensure the efficient implementation of these regulations.
Jeg vil gerne starte med at lykønske ordføreren med hans betænkning og udtrykke min store enighed i de bemærkninger, han lige er kommet med. Jeg fremsatte et enkelt ændringsforslag under debattens udvalgsstadium, som blev accepteret af udvalget, vedrørende medlemsstaters behov for at indføre en passende ordning med stikprøver, inspektion og kontrol for at sikre en effektiv gennemførelse af disse bestemmelser.
