Mr. Bobby Hannon:

Ms Trautmann published an own-initiative report for the European Parliament, the compilation of which began before the summer and before the Commission's proposals were published. She conducted some hearings early in September. The report essentially calls for a fundamental review of the framework and not a piecemeal approach. The report refers to a number of areas as meriting examination, which is part of the problem. As well as calling for an all-encompassing review of the framework, the report also makes a plea for full and considered deliberations. It argues that this is not something that can be rushed through.
