Madam President, firstly, I would like to speak as chairperson of the Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market to point out, following on from what Mr Haarder said, that Mr Rothley, first Vice-Chairman of the Committee, is not a spokesman but a rapporteur, and I think that so far he has conducted himself impeccably within that mandate.
Fru formand, for det første tager jeg ordet som formand for Udvalget om Retlige Anliggender og det Indre Marked for på baggrund af hr. Haarders ord at minde om, at hr. Rothley, der er første næstformand for udvalget, ikke er talsmand, men ordfører, og jeg finder, at han indtil videre har optrådt fuldstændigt inden for rammerne af dette mandat.
