"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, Omnibus II – alongside Omnibus I, for which I am the rapporteur – is the second procedure intended to bring European commercial legislation into line with the new provisions of the Treaty of Lisbon. Delegated and implementing acts are now to be incorporated into commercial law as well.
As regards delegated acts, one issue of general importance to me is to ensure that Parliament can fully exercise its rights in this respect. However, calling for staff from the parliamentary administration to participate in the Commission’s preparatory meetings sends out the wrong signal. What is needed is direct political control by Members of this House.
The Commission must ensure that Members are informed about any planned delegated act at an early stage. I hope that the deliberations in the Council will be concluded soon so that we can commence compromise negotiations on Omnibus II swiftly.
On a broader point, my view – and this issue has been discussed frequently with the rapporteur for Omnibus II – is that Omnibus I and II are a package and should be negotiated, as far as possible, in parallel. I would therefore like to express my particular thanks to Mr Leichtfried, firstly because we have been able to table his report here in plenary – and that was also discussed between us, because I think a vote in plenary puts us in a better position – and secondly, because from now on, we will indeed be able to work together in parallel.
I should like to make one final comment. I completely agree with the view of our Social Democratic colleagues as regards the role of the European Union and the European Parliament in the WTO Parliamentary Assembly. Twenty-seven countries acting together are stronger than 27 individual voices. The dual role – national and European level – comes into play very effectively in the WTO, in my view, and we should use this as a model for our representation in other international bodies as well."@en1
