"Mr President, Commissioner De Gucht, could you tell Commissioners Rehn and Andor that this Parliament takes the European Semester procedure seriously?
To that end, when, on 28 November, the Commission puts on the table the annual growth review, which will serve as our underlying thread for 2013, we would like them to have several messages in mind. Firstly, to take account of the Growth Pact called for by the Heads of State or Government, on 28 and 29 June; next, the lessons from what the International Monetary Fund tells us, namely that a roadmap based only on austerity clearly has no chance of getting the European Union moving again.
Lastly, we think that the purpose of having an annual growth review and a definition of a European vision worked out before the European Council is to gain the means not simply to condemn each Member State in relation to its budgetary policy but also to draw up a common roadmap, enabling us, for instance, to correct macroeconomic imbalances.
Please tell your colleagues that we would like two important things. The first is the possibility for Parliament to be involved in defining this European roadmap. For that we need a document we are able to amend, even though, formally, we do not currently have powers of codecision. Then, if the Member States are required, alongside national reform programmes and stability and convergence programmes, to submit national programmes for jobs, these documents must then be taken seriously. Member States that do not take them seriously must be penalised or, at least, called on to do so with a vigilance not shown by Mr Rehn this year."@en1
