"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, Commissioner, as the last to Parliamentarian to speak, there is one thing that comes to mind: you have spoken of the Tampere spirit and I believe that there is also a Tampere signal. It is a strong signal that Europe is no longer just a market and that the European citizen is no longer just a consumer or a worker; that the citizens, in all their forms, with all their worries, with all their needs, with all their demands, are at the centre of European construction. And it seems important, bearing in mind everything that has been said here, to point out an issue which, in my opinion, symbolises this setting for the citizen. At Tampere, a quasi-constitutional transformation has taken place, because the Council has given the Commission a mandate to establish, on their proposal, common rules on admission and residence, on small claims and many other issues. In this way we are moving from a shared right of initiative to a right of initiative which is wholly in the hands of the Commission. It seems to me that this, from the point of view of European construction, is enormously important. In the final seconds of this debate I would like to highlight judicial construction and the fact that the citizens, in addition to security, the police and the fight against crime, wish to know that justice is on their side, in any part of Europe, and that they will find justice before any judge. This is another of the great messages of Tampere. Commissioner, you have said that a lot of things were left undone in Tampere and it is true. But there is – as the French say . You have at least fifteen enormously important mandates to perform. We in this Parliament hope that those proposals will be on the table very soon."@en1
