"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I fully agree with the priorities and the points Mr Busuttil has stressed in his report. I hope this House will adopt the report by an overwhelming majority so as to further enhance the operation of the single market, which is an absolutely vital part of the policies for EU development. That would send out a strong signal to the individual Member States. The latest results from the internal market scoreboard have shown how Member States are increasingly failing to deliver on the transposition of European legislation. That is why I agree with my fellow Member that we need to increase the power and flexibility of infringement proceedings, while rethinking the role SOLVIT should play as an alternative to seeking legal redress. In that respect, I share his reservations about the danger that we might run into problems with the principle of subsidiarity if the legal basis for SOLVIT is over-formalised. I therefore think the Commission needs to examine all kinds of solutions very carefully so as to make the portal more operational without running the risk of getting bogged down in legal technicalities. Lastly, we must bear in mind the fact that the Treaty of Lisbon has redefined Parliament’s role considerably by giving it substantial powers to structure and review EU legislation. In that regard, the conclusions of the scoreboard need to be properly examined within this Parliament’s regular dialogue with the national parliaments, with a view to a more fruitful collaboration with the national authorities."@en1
