European Parliament
Chichester (PPE-DE ),
rapporteur
Mr President, I should like to report to the House that, following the debate last night and discussions with the presidency, in the spirit of compromise reflecting our work on this portfolio, I am mandated by the Committee on Industry, External Trade, Research and Energy to withdraw Amendments Nos 3 and 11. On that basis, I understand that the Commission is in full support of all the amendments and the presidency has indicated its support. Therefore, I urge colleagues to vote for the rest. Block No 1 will effectively subsume three other amendments.
