"Mr President, I would like to thank Mr Gauzès for a high-quality report on the issue of the European Semester. I have attended many meetings on this issue with representatives of national parliaments and wish to present to you two conclusions which arose from these meetings.
The first conclusion is that the European Semester is, in essence, a political process through which important options with regard to citizens’ lives are defined, and the report addresses these requirements with regard to the role of the European Parliament and the role of national parliaments. The second conclusion relates to the fact that in many Member States, the national parliaments are not consulted precisely at the stage at which governments draw up draft stability or convergence programmes, draft national reform programmes or draft programmes on the creation of new jobs.
This requirement must be addressed by the Member States first and foremost, and I think we have a duty here – both ourselves, the European Parliament, and the European Commission – to emphasise this aspect because normally the national parliaments get involved in this process when draft budgets for the following year are presented to them."@en1
