"Mr President, Commissioner, my group supports the report by Mr Perry. The EU Treaties acknowledge that it may be necessary to subject European matters to parliamentary scrutiny. In so doing, it is not the intention to call into question the work of the Commission in monitoring the proper application of EU law by the Member States. Sometimes, however, the Commission does not want to tread on the toes of the governments of some Member States.
