I wish to make a comment rather than ask a question.

On the first two proposals, I accept they have no subsidiarity issues. I believe corporate reporting is important, however, particularly in terms of environmental standards and social responsibility. I am concerned about the delay in those measures and reducing the scope to very large companies. A company with 5,000 employees is a very large company.
