"I voted in favour of the report because I believe that the balance of institutional relations within the European Union depends on the correct interpretation and application of the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, to which I believe that appropriateness should also be added. Action at Community level, the positive effects of which include solutions such as the open method of coordination, the sharing of best practice and the adoption of common quality standards, should, as the rapporteur says, focus on, if not actually be restricted to, those issues for which there is a legal mechanism attributing competence to Europe, or those issues where action at Community level is genuinely effective. It will be all the more important to clarify these principles if, in terms of the legal system, we definitively opt for an approach based on consolidating the division of competences, as opposed to a policy of legislative expansionism. The principle of subsidiarity means acting at a higher level if, and only if, this means obtaining better results than would generally be the case with more effective action at a level closer to citizens.
In short, I welcome the rapporteur's position on the need for the Commission to focus on truly European issues."@en1
