Thank you for all your wise comments on the annual policy strategy.

This morning I want to welcome the early start that you are giving us on the development of the policy strategy.

I think that the political groups should discuss the annual policy strategy in exactly the same way as the different committees do.

The next item is the Commission statement on the annual policy strategy for 2009.

For this reason, I will be voting against the policy strategy.

This should be reflected in the 2009 policy strategy of the Commission.

That promise was repeated in their annual policy strategy for 2008.
