"I abstained during the final vote on the two reports by Mr Zappalà.
First of all, I would like to point out that I share Mr Watson’s view regarding the need to reform the European Parliament’s working practices. It is quite simply impossible to vote, with full knowledge of the facts, on hundreds of amendments in one hour of voting time. In fact, this is only a parody of democracy.
As far as public procurement is concerned, Parliament’s amendments, even though I appreciate the reasons behind them, make the work of the contracting authorities unnecessarily complicated. Public tendering was devised to ensure optimum use of public monies. Yet, in trying to meet all kinds of political objectives through an award procedure that seeks to seek out the lowest bidder, Europe will end up with excessive bureaucracy, both for companies and for the public authorities."@en1
