In this respect, I naturally wanted to say that we support this report, but that we also feel that the subject of the relationship with the primary committee remains a thorny topic in the Corbett reform and at this point I also would like to say something to Mr Botopoulos: it is not that the Committee on Petitions is a strange committee, it is a committee that has a very specific role and on most occasions petitions are concerned with the application of Community law, they are concerned with breaches of directives and laws that do not evidently always have a very clear relationship with the primary committee.
Siinkohal soovin loomulikult öelda, et toetame käesolevat raportit, kuid tunneme ka, et algse komisjoni suhete teema jääb härra Corbetti reformis torkima ning siinkohal soovin ühtlasi öelda midagi härra Botopoulusele: asi ei ole selles, et petitsioonikomisjon on veider komisjon, sel komisjonil on vägagi kindel roll ning enamikul juhtudel on petitsioonid seotud ühenduse seaduste rakendamisega, need on seotud direktiivide ja seaduste, millel ei ole ilmselt alati väga selget seost algse komisjoniga, rikkumisega.
