lpv:translated text	"Mr President, in seeking solutions to the EU’s institutional reforms and the problems that have resulted from the failure of the Intergovernmental Conference, we must keep our minds on the internal market and maintaining and improving the competitiveness of our economy. The implementation of internal market legislation at national level is an absolute precondition for achieving the Lisbon objectives. An increase in the implementation deficit will cause EU markets to splinter and erode the benefits of the internal market. An accusing finger cannot just be pointed at the inertia of the Member States in the implementation of the Lisbon objectives. The work of the Competitiveness Council has to be made more effective and it must return to a fundamental question: what impact will each drafted law have on the EU’s competitiveness? It is also time for some spring-cleaning in the Commission. At present the Commissioners are very torn on their directives. The drafting of the chemicals package was a good example of this. EU competitiveness will not improve with laws like these. On the contrary, it will become seriously endangered. Next autumn a Competitiveness Council Commissioners’ portfolio is to be established in the Commission. Its task will specifically be to finalise the Lisbon objectives and coordinate and harmonise the work of the Commissioners for Industry, the Environment and Employment. Competitiveness and a healthy Europe are not a Utopian dream. New magic remedies are not required. The medication exists: it was discovered in the spring of 2000 in Lisbon. Countries just have to do what they said they would."@en1
