lpv:translated text	". I agree with those who have pointed out that creating pilot programmes for ‘tripartite contracts and agreements between the Community, the States and regional and local authorities’ can only be interpreted properly if we take account of the intentions underpinning this action. As a matter of fact, because the aim that is proposed – by means of ‘formally coordinated actions’ being able to ‘improve the implementation of policies’, in other words, to establish Community standards that can only be applied with particular arrangements, taking account of very different and specific existing realities – already features in the Treaties, specifically by implementing the principle of subsidiarity and by means of a much more straightforward and appropriate process, which is to set targets to be achieved, leaving it up to the Member States how to do this by means of a directive. Consequently, what underlies this initiative is not the crucial need to combat ultra-bureaucratic or highly centralised procedures or for a real increase in the power of local authorities to manage their own domain, but simply to raise local authorities to the level of direct partners of the European institutions in implementing their guidelines, in an attempt to take over from States as the national interlocutor. Hence the support and the hearty congratulations of Parliament’s ultra-federalist Committee on Constitutional Affairs."@en1
