". As you know, the Treaty of Nice provides for establishing a Social Protection Committee, with consultative status, to promote cooperation in the field of social protection policies between Member States and between these and the Commission. A Social Protection Committee, with a similar status and aims, was established by Council decision of 29 June 2002, and has been operational since that date. The purpose of this report is therefore essentially procedural: to establish the Council in accordance with the new legal basis. Nevertheless, we must welcome the fact that this Council also has the tasks of monitoring the social situation. It will promote the exchange of good practice and establish appropriate contacts with management and labour. It will also aim for a more structured engagement with NGOs and to pay particular attention to poverty-related issues. I welcome the rapporteur’s proposal to call for a joint annual report to be drawn up and presented to the Council and the European Parliament. This report must include a specific chapter containing Parliament’s views on social protection issues. An effective process of information shall be established to permit the European Parliament to follow matters up on a regular basis, and the candidate countries must be informed and consulted. I voted in favour, of course."@en1
