lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I, too, should like to thank the rapporteur for the work she has done on this report. It is true, in my opinion, that she has managed to get the entire committee behind her – as well as the entire Parliament, I assume – for her proposals. Naturally, I should also like to congratulate Mr Pérez on the victory in Galicia. I endorse everything that has been said, that this is a sound report and that there are a number of amendments that could considerably improve the proposal. However, I am also a little pessimistic. I see little evidence of any inclination to examine our proposals in the Council or in the Commission. If anything, they are more inclined to dig their heels in and say: well, the employment policy as we have designed it works, and we refuse to make any changes. We want to involve Parliament to some extent but preferably as little as possible. That is actually rather the impression I get, especially in the Council but also partly in the Commission. In a different report on social protection, we managed – in fact, under your presidency – to break out of this. I hope that this will be the case here too, but I am far more pessimistic this time round. We are dealing with a Council which seeks even less direct contact with Parliament. We are faced with even more difficulties, which adds to my sense of pessimism. I am delighted that the rapporteur drafted this report. In my opinion, it pinpoints very accurately what we are agreed on in this Parliament, but I am pessimistic about the outcome. Maybe my pessimism could be transformed into optimism. However, if all signals are red – and that is the case here – then that should be voiced in this House. That is the main reason why I have taken the floor today. I hope that I come across as being rather gloomy. We will hear from the Commissioner and particularly the Council whether they will at long last leave behind their old ways and perhaps are really willing to enter into a dialogue with this Parliament."@en1
