I thought the response by the Commissioner was encouraging on its own merits.

We shall soon have the opportunity to come back to this subject, when we discuss the communication by the Commissioner.

I want to welcome the announcement by the Commissioner.

The second is the European variable as presented by the Commissioner.

We witnessed the welcome launch this week, by the Commissioner himself, of proposal on the internal market for services.

The speech by the Commissioner just now was very welcome.

I welcome the comments made last night by the Commissioner and look forward to more transparency.

We should therefore stand our ground when discussing each of the issues on the forthcoming agenda as outlined by the Commissioner.

We would like this point cleared up by the Commissioner before the debate.

By myself or by the High Commissioner as and when he returns.
