question:
The rapporteur, Mr Koch, to whom we express our thanks for the work which he has done on this, has already pointed out that basically everything could have been somewhat more advanced had it not been for the inactivity on the part of the CEN, which has been very dilatory in drawing up and adapting the directive.
answer:
El ponente, Sr. Koch, al que damos las gracias por el trabajo que ha llevado a cabo, ha aludido a que en el fondo todo podría estar más avanzado si no existiera esta demora de los CEN que son muy lentos en la elaboración y en la adaptación de la directiva.
