".
I am pleased that the proposed resolution contained in the report, on behalf of the Legal Affairs Committee, on monitoring the application of Community law in 1998, which I presented as rapporteur, was adopted in plenary in Strasbourg.
In doing so, the European Parliament sends a positive signal to Europe’s citizens, who have the right to expect a high level of protection through Community law. This Assembly has also demonstrated its vigilance faced with the difficulties of application that exist in several Member States and in many spheres of activity. It has remembered the importance of the infringement procedure, which must not become subject to opportune reform by the Commission. It has highlighted the position of the preliminary question in the European system and the need to step up training in Community law within the Member States.
While nobody would deny the importance of petitions, I did not wish to go along with the amendments tabled by the members of the Committee on Petitions, in particular the request to set up a ‘European administrative law’. Account must be taken of the current state of progress in the construction of Europe and of the principle of subsidiarity. I should stress, however, that the intention is to ask the Commission to intensify its relations with national administrations when there is a problem, in order that it can be resolved beforehand.
Taken as a whole, the resolution adopted serves to improve transparency and effectiveness, which is to the benefit of Europe’s citizens."@en1
