lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the annual debate on the area of freedom, security and justice seems to be in large measure directed at the future and not the year 2002. Baroness Ludford is using her question to press for the abolition of the third pillar, the implementation of the codecision procedure and the inclusion of the Charter in the new Treaty. This would make decision-making in the Council more democratic and more structured, because there has been a jumble of initiatives from the Member States recently. In addition to that, the legislative proposals of the Commission in the area of asylum and immigration are getting nowhere, because decision-making in the Council has come to a standstill. The criticism is justified. Part of the solution lies in a better treaty structure and the implementation of different decision-making procedures in certain areas. But I am still convinced that fussing about the powers at European level will not by definition improve the situation very much. Nor does a European constitution offer any added value. It is a pity that Parliament does not direct its attention to specific points from 2002 and always continues to focus on questions of powers and idealistic ideas about a European state. Following on from this, it remains for the Council to concern itself less with prestige and to spend more time on working to achieve results."@en1
