Madam President, first of all I should like to congratulate the European Parliament on the way it has followed up the question on silicone breast implants, which was put to the Committee on Petitions, and in particular the rapporteur Mrs Fourtou.
Arvoisa puhemies, haluaisin aivan ensiksi onnitella Euroopan parlamenttia tavasta, jolla se on käsitellyt vetoomusvaliokuntaan vietyä silikonirintaproteeseja koskevaa kysymystä, ja aivan erityisesti Fourtout ´ ta.
