Mr President, honourable Members, the Commission takes note of the position expressed today by the European Parliament and, in view of the commitments made before this House, the Commission will draw the most appropriate conclusions from today's negative vote, also taking into account the Council's position.
The Commission will consider the best way to achieve the required result, in other words to guarantee the social protection of workers while at the same time avoiding an increase in administrative burdens in the road transport sector.
