lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to begin by congratulating my colleague Mr Gauzès on his report and his commitment to the issue of economic governance in the European Union. The report we are discussing today is the first complete survey of the European Semester, and the conclusions we are gathering are therefore very important for its future implementation. The European Semester is now proving to be an excellent tool for coordinating our policy objectives and responsibilities at European and national level. The crisis has shown up the significant differences between the regions of the Union, the macroeconomic imbalances between national economies, and the extent to which these imbalances have increased in recent years. In view of the difficulties in addressing these weaknesses, and the distinctive approaches of the Member States in their efforts to achieve fiscal adjustment and growth, we need to exploit every option, in terms of policy and resources, in order to achieve the common aim of stability and growth. The European Semester is, then, a pre-eminent tool for achieving this purpose. At the same time, there is another aspect to it: it can contribute to the democratic legitimation of our decisions and policies. The possibility of participation by national parliaments is very important for the effectiveness of our policies, because the national parliaments can now participate with greater responsibility in the design of reform programmes and the budgets submitted, and also in the assessment of budgetary implementation and the effectiveness of the programmes; and, of course, they can contribute towards better governance and help to familiarise local players and the peoples of Europe with European objectives and European obligations. In addition, the possibility of an ‘educational role’ is opened up, as the rapporteur, Mr Gauzès, has said. There is a need for this educational role, and the national parliaments, which can play a part alongside the social partners, may contribute towards this. I therefore think the European Commission should be clear and specific in its recommendations, to show the true meaning of the potential offered by the European Semester, so that it can contribute to better governance and a more stable European Union."@en1
