lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I would like to thank our rapporteur Mr Karas. He has had a very challenging task to streamline the measures of coordination. I fully welcome the efforts of the Commission in this respect and I want to thank our Commissioner, Mrs Diamantopoulou, for your courage in proposing these items. I do not want to be the black sheep of the House today, but I think that we should also be critical when it comes to expanding methods of open coordination to different areas. In the report, Parliament says that we have two items which are important. If you look at paragraph (e) in the Karas report – I will read an extract from the paragraph: ‘Whereas a better streamlined review of implementation in the form of a new implementation package requires information on the implementation of policies agreed on Europe leading to an evaluation of implementation in the relevant policy areas’. This is a text from the report and it shows that, for Parliament, implementation of present coordination mechanisms is really important. We have not seen enough concrete results from the coordination mechanisms and we need concrete results. The other worry of Parliament concerns the role of Parliament and you can see from all of the reports that our role as a parliament, as a representative of the citizens, is very worrying for us. In the working group of economic governors in the Convention of which I was a member, we had a majority of members who thought that the European Parliament and the European Commission should have a role to play and that the methods of open coordination and processes should be included in the Constitutional Treaty. Unfortunately, I was in the minority in this working group, because I think that the main aim of the open method of coordination is to be flexible, and that it should not be in the Treaty. We should use the current mechanisms."@en1
