"Mr President, while the issue of alignment of the Lisbon Treaty is perhaps not the most riveting issue going through the committee at the moment, especially considering our work on the CAP reform, it is nonetheless very important. I commend the work of the rapporteurs who have worked on these dossiers. It is quite clearly extremely complex and a subject with legal difficulties. I think we recognise that.
Although we have not been able to reach agreement, the issue must be dealt with in the CAP reform. The vote tomorrow will provide a clear position for the Parliament side. We have to recognise that there is clearly a growing void between the Commission and Parliament. Granting powers to the European Parliament is one of the aspects of the Lisbon Treaty which I totally support.
In terms of delegated acts, I am in favour of Parliament being given more control and influence because this takes that control into the hands of Parliament and elected representatives. However, I urge Parliament to use these powers, and I have no doubt it will. Especially under the leadership of the current chairman of the Committee on Agriculture, we would use those powers wisely and at least it would be more democratic."@en1
