"Mr President, one of the colleagues said that legislation is our product here as politicians, and it is, so some of the complaints we make about it to the Commission and others, we could make about ourselves.
We overcomplicate, we sometimes table amendments that are not clear, and the tragedy is that the words that are finally voted on and agreed between the Commission, the Council and Parliament are words that are then implemented in Member States in national legislation.
Sometimes that is done haphazardly and slowly, but usually these things come to pass. I think there is an onus on us to legislate better in this House. I know that journalists who come here find it very difficult to follow or indeed read the various reports that come before us. I know that I have been here seven years now, but in the first year in this Parliament, there was no induction into drafting or amending legislation, so we need to look at how we do business ourselves and make the process better.
Finally, on pilot projects, sometimes they are an excuse for Member States not to act. We need a little bit more attention paid to them."@en1
