"Mr President, my colleague, Mr Corbett, spoke of a good result. Having just seen a television screen displaying a score of one nil, I consider, in a thoroughly European spirit, that, yes, it is a good result. Mr Corbett spoke of the situation of the people of Yorkshire. Far be it from me to discourage him, but I should nonetheless like to convince him that he still has a little bit of work to do in bringing each of the Members of this House around to the idea of the crucial importance either of comitology or of the results obtained within the framework of the negotiations that have just been completed. On this point, I place my faith in his powers of persuasion.
I should very much like to thank not only our negotiators, Mr Corbett and Mr Daul, for the result at which we have arrived, but also Mr Radwan and all the members of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, without whom these negotiations would not have been begun.
Basically, I wish to put the Commission on its guard. From this point on, you have an important duty in respect of Parliament, that of getting the implementing measures under way in a framework that has now been clearly redefined. We are regularly questioned about the need to monitor the way in which the Member States apply or implement the legislation on which we deliberate in this House. In the same spirit, then, we shall have to check that the Commission, for its part, is doing what it has to do to ensure that the implementing measures are ready within reasonable periods of time. We shall also have to review the European Parliament’s Rules of Procedure so as to adapt our procedures to these new rights that we have to be able to exercise in full.
Everyone will be delighted this evening with the outcome of the negotiations. That being said, I should like now to return to three issues that, in my view, remain unresolved.
The first is that of the status of European Parliament observers within the Commission’s expert committees. The fact is that if we want to exercise in full this oversight and right of call-back where comitology is concerned, we need to be able, under the same conditions as the representatives of the Council, to follow on a day-to-day basis the work of the competent committees where implementation is concerned.
My second question concerns sunset clauses. In the case of these, the minimum we obtained in the declaration constitutes the guarantee we needed in order to accept the agreement.
My third and final question is by way of a warning to the Commission. In a case where, in the quasi-legislative sphere, the European Parliament refuses an implementing measure as proposed by the Commission, the latter will have not only the opportunity to propose a new wording, but also a duty to do so. Otherwise, it will not be possible to implement level 1."@en1
