lpv:translated text	"Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the Internet service SOLVIT has been in operation for eight years now and has succeeded in resolving 83% of complaints from citizens and enterprises caused by the incorrect application of European law in the Member States, and it has managed to do this within 10 days. In 2008, judicial disputes and damages amounting to EUR 32 million were avoided thanks to informal solutions from SOLVIT. The problem revealed by our three reports has two levels: first and foremost is the tardiness of a number of Member States in implementing European law into national practice, with a shortfall of 100 directives that have not fully entered into force in connection with the internal market. I know this is a small percentage, but it is an important percentage. Secondly is the very poor use made of SOLVIT as a practical instrument. For example, in the Czech Republic, it is well known among professionals, but only 7% of registered entrepreneurs know anything about the service. The situation in France is far worse. According to the statistics, SOLVIT is looked after by just one individual on work experience. I am delighted that our committee has also supported the proposals I presented as a shadow rapporteur; for example, the measure to increase the professional administrative staff of the SOLVIT network in Member States. However, it is mainly a matter of promoting the network among entrepreneurs, expatriates, various associations, national parliaments and also this Parliament. I would like to mention the need to link SOLVIT with the unified points of contact and advisory services operated by the Commission and, of course, it is important for the Commission to inform all countries in a timely manner of the issues resolved through the SOLVIT network. The Commission should present these analyses in annual reports and, in this way, we could of course improve the usability of the SOLVIT network. I am delighted that our committee has backed all three reports to such a broad extent across the political spectrum, and I hope that the plenary will also back them. I would like to thank all the rapporteurs for the work they have carried out."@en1
