"Madam President, Mr Barroso, ladies and gentlemen, I would like first of all to thank the two co-rapporteurs, Mr Lehne and Mr Harlem Désir, and above all the group of 33, including, too, those colleagues who will probably not take part in the vote. I am rather sorry about that, but I can tell you that the working atmosphere was excellent, that we worked in extraordinarily good conditions and that I was highly satisfied as chairman.
It is important that the revitalisation of the Lisbon Strategy should be an indisputable priority and, for that to be the case, we must mobilise all the parties concerned. Parliament has therefore set up its coordinating working group, with the sole aim of helping to improve the strategy’s implementation by making Parliament a clearer and more influential partner in the process than has previously been the case. One of its tasks will be to prepare a recommendation for the Conference of Presidents before the spring summit.
I hope, Mr Barroso, that you and all the commissioners will take everything that has been said into account. There is still a short paragraph which I have not heard, Mr Barroso, on the coordination of the three presidents. I believe that is very important for what lies ahead. So far as this draft resolution is concerned, I therefore hope there will be a very large majority today in the vote. That is why we also need to identify key measures like the importance of the service sector, special support for private businesses and also the need for a new regulation on chemical substances and the modernisation of the labour market.
Another important stage will begin next week with the holding in our Parliament in Brussels, under Mr Borrell’s presidency, of the first parliamentary meeting on the Lisbon Strategy with the national parliaments. It is very important that we study and work much more with our national parliaments. Our meeting will mark the opening of a parliamentary dialogue on this Lisbon Strategy. The aim is to coordinate initiatives at parliamentary level so as to send a strong and consistent message to the Heads of State or Government on the eve of each European Council.
We will also be continuing our work on the other aspects of the mandate we have been given, namely to work at interinstitutional level for better legislative programming and to improve the transposition and implementation at national level of the measures taken within the framework of the Lisbon Strategy. Indeed, as the Kok Report suggests, we want Parliament to play a proactive role in monitoring the results obtained from this strategy."@en1
