"Mr President, it seems to me that the outcome is a vindication of the Community method. Much of the process was kick-started and propelled by the declarations at the Lisbon Summit, but nothing would have happened if those declaratory statements had not been turned into excellent and workable proposals by the Commission. They were then propelled forward by some superb cross-party work by rapporteurs in this Parliament and fixed as a result of innovative negotiating skills on the part of the Belgian presidency and from Mr Daems – who contrived to include a gastronomic tour of Brussels in his valiant efforts to secure consensus. This combination was successful in dragging Member States and national regulatory authorities – some of them kicking and screaming – towards a workable pan-European approach.
That seems to me to offer some lessons for the Barcelona Summit next year: if we want to push forward the economic reform agenda in this sector and in others, we need to continue to rely on the tried and tested Community method and not resort to the intergovernmentalism that frankly was implicit in much of what the Council seemed to suggest in the negotiation positions it took on this package."@en1
