lpv:translated text	"I think it is only fair to start by congratulating Mr Szájer on the excellent report he has presented to us. As has rightly been said, the Treaty of Lisbon strengthens the powers of the European Parliament and introduces rules to reinforce democratic control. I therefore think Parliament deserves to be congratulated twice over: not only on Mr Szájer’s excellent report, which I have just mentioned, but also because the new rules abolish the old comitology system, which we have criticised so often in this House. We now have Article 290 of the Treaty of Lisbon, and I note that Mr Szájer’s report suggests a number of ways of working that safeguard Parliament’s prerogatives. With this new provision, Parliament can concentrate on essential legislative acts and give the Commission a margin of flexibility to complete non-essential legislative acts within the limits laid down by the legislator. As Mr Leinen has rightly said, we are now on an equal footing with the Council and, therefore, Parliament is not in a position of inferiority. Madam President, I would like to highlight some aspects of Mr Szájer’s report that I think are particularly important. The first is the idea that we reject any provisions that impose on the legislator additional obligations over and above those already included in Article 290. Secondly, the Commission must ensure early and continuous transmission of information and relevant documents. Thirdly, the periods should only start once all the language versions – I repeat, all the language versions – have been received. The last point is that Parliament’s recess periods must be taken into account."@en1
