lpv:spoken text	". I was delighted to cast my vote in favour of the excellent report by Mr Poos. As a representative of Scotland and a member of the European Free Alliance section of my Group, I particularly welcome paragraph 13 of the report, calling for the involvement of "national parliaments and, in federal or highly regionalised States, the regional authorities including participation in the Council itself according to Article 203 of the EC Treaty." For Scotland and similar countries this will only be a start, but it will be an important one. This Parliament is concerned about the democratic deficit. To remedy this, let us seek to secure a greater role for devolved parliaments in making European law. If parliamentarians at all levels in Europe are to be engaged effectively, there must be open and public legislative debate in the Council. We must highlight the need for publicity and openness in the Council, as stipulated in paragraph 26 of the report. The reforms urged in this report all go in the right direction."@en1
