I voted for the report by Mrs Berès and Mr Langen which takes stock of a decade of Economic and Monetary Union. I fully agree with the fact that the European Parliament, the only European body directly elected by the people, has played a very important role over the first decade of Economic and Monetary Union. Parliament acts as co-legislator in the field of the internal market, in particular with regard to financial services; it conducts dialogue on the coordination of economic policies through the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs; it has a dominant role in monetary policy, with the appointment of the members of the ECB’s Executive Board. These are only a very few of the primary functions carried out by Parliament over recent years. I would like to end by congratulating my fellow Members on the report, particularly in light of the emphasis placed upon the enlargement of the euro area as a springboard for the EU’s new economic future."@en1
