"Madam President, the reason why I have asked permission to speak is because, pursuant to Article 144 of the Rules of Procedure, the EDD Group is requesting that the matter be referred back to committee. The background to this request is important and something of a matter of principle inasmuch as the proposal for a directive is alleged to have been issued pursuant to Article 95 and therefore to be a proposal for an internal market directive. In fact, the directive in view is overwhelmingly concerned with health policy, which is why, legally, it pertains to another part of the Treaty, namely Article 152. This is an issue which is not unimportant as a matter of principle because Article 152 makes it clear that harmonisation cannot take place within the health sphere. However, a series of other measures may be adopted. What is worth noting and justifies the group’s request for the matter to be referred back to committee is the fact that no light has been shed anywhere, either in the Commission’s proposal or in Mrs Müller’s report, on this crucial issue of where authority basically lies, and I would refer to a whole range of decisions from the European Court of Justice concerning this line of demarcation. The least we must demand is that the issue be investigated, and we would therefore ask for the matter to be referred back to committee."@en1
