Speaker 1
Good morning dear colleagues, please take your seats.  We will wait a while for our colleagues who are coming here. 

We will have votes today, so prepare your cards please.  We'll have electronic votes, but we will wait for a while for the rest of our colleagues.  But if it's possible, take your seats and I will see how many we are here. 

Yes, so dear colleagues, please sign the list.  And we are almost ready, but I've been informed that some of our colleagues are still on the way, so one minute more.  Remember, check your cards, please.  Because I know that some of you, yeah, you've got your card because we will have the roll-call vote, so we need cards.  If someone forgot, so inform your office to take the, to bring cards. 

Okay, good morning. 

The ITRE committee meeting is open now.  I'd like, thank you for being here.  We are after coordinators' meeting and we can start with item 4.  So I'd like to inform you that as usual, today's meeting is webstreamed and interpretation has been requested in all languages.  The coordinators' decisions of 24th June have been communicated to all of you ITRE members by email. 

And before I start item 6, I'd like to introduce you our new director of ITRE secretariat, Mr. Radek Pilar.  It's nice to start cooperating with you.  We cross our fingers.  And this is the first committee meeting for you, no?  Yes. 

Yeah, so but I'm quite sure that with our staff everything will be smooth and without any problems.  And we've got item 6 and it will be the electronic vote. 

And we've got amending directives of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards simplification of some requirements and reduction of administrative burden.  And our rapporteur is Jüri Ratas from EPP.  I can see we've got our shadows.  And before we start, we start vote, I will give the floor to rapporteur, but first we will check if everything is okay with our cards.  So I open the technical vote. 

So the question is to be or not to be today.  Yes, before holidays it is a very good question.  So to be or not to be.  And...  Yeah, it's better France or Spain today it can be the question. 

Okay, so let's start the vote.  We still need two votes.
