However, it is fair to say that in the short time – just over a year – since I took over responsibility for this area, determined progress has been made and the whole process has accelerated. Furthermore, the codecision procedure has worked very well. In particular, I would like to thank the whole Parliament for the work undertaken, especially by Mr Imbeni and the rapporteurs, Mr Swoboda and Mr Jarzembowski.
En outre, la procédure de codécision a très bien fonctionné et je voudrais saluer tout spécialement le travail réalisé par le Parlement dans son ensemble ainsi que M. Imbeni et les rapporteurs, MM. Swoboda et Jarzembowski.
