lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I have a question for Commissioner Diamantopoulou regarding the European employment process and the most practical difficulty to which it gives rise, namely the problem of implementing the policy in the Member States. Most of the players in the labour markets across Europe know absolutely nothing about the European Employment Strategy. The Commission is aware of this and has started to stress the importance of implementation, which I welcome wholeheartedly. When I last heard Mrs Diamantopoulou speak to our committee, she said that there would also be further consideration of how to include the European Parliament and the national parliaments in the European employment process. I think this sounds excellent. My question now is whether the Commission has progressed any further on this issue and has clearer ideas in this regard. If we look at each individual Member State, they all have some sort of national action plan for employment in as much as their parliaments have adopted budgets which establish which measures in the area of labour market policy have funding for the coming year. As there cannot be two separate national action plans, the national action plan which is part of, and builds on, the guidelines in the European employment process must be coordinated with each parliament’s politico-economic work on creating a national employment policy. I therefore wonder why the Commission is not clearer on this point. I know that telling Member States how to handle their decision-making processes is not an option, but making recommendations is obviously possible, not least within the framework of the open employment process. With this now about to be introduced in the candidate countries, which have a weak administrative capacity, it is even more important to place the political responsibility for the employment process clearly on the political process and to emphasise that the national parliaments have a crucial responsibility for, and influence upon, this issue."@en1
