lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioners, ladies and gentlemen, the new online problem-solving network concerning cases of misapplication of internal market law, known as SOLVIT, is a very successful system insofar as it provides redress, without formal procedures, within approximately 10 weeks. Created in 2002, this network saw its workload increase by 22% in 2008. Even though the resolution rate remains quite high at 83%, the number of cases resolved is decreasing. It would seem to be time, eight years after it was created, to think about strengthening this institution by giving it the means to function effectively. These new measures would make it possible to help European citizens and businesses to assert their rights, especially with regard to the recognition of qualifications and of their social and residence entitlements. I therefore support the idea that not only should there be more SOLVIT staff in the Member States, but also that support and training measures should be put in place so that staff can function as efficiently as possible. It seems essential to me that governments and we ourselves, as elected representatives for our respective constituencies, should promote the SOLVIT network, which enabled cost savings of EUR 32.6 million in 2008. Furthermore, promoting this new tool would limit excessive recourse to the judicial system. I therefore call on the Member States to transpose all the European directives and make citizens and businesses aware of their rights within the internal market through national forms of media and information campaigns. To conclude, on behalf of my political group within the Committee on Petitions, I hope that cooperation between SOLVIT and our parliamentary committee will be strengthened so as to facilitate the work of these two bodies."@en1
