lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, as Vice-President of Parliament responsible for relations with national parliaments, I very much welcome both the tone and the content of Mr Napolitano's report. I am convinced that his ideas will help us enhance what is already a good relationship between ourselves and our national counterparts. I strongly believe that this relationship is vital if we are to ensure that the EU is built on democratic foundations. However, I agree with some of my colleagues when they emphasise that the regional parliaments which have legislative powers are an equally important part of ensuring democracy in all EU decision-making. To take my own country, for example, over half the work of the Scottish Parliament is not about implementing laws thought of in Edinburgh or even implementing laws coming from London, but in fact about implementing laws from Brussels – about ensuring that EU laws are properly transposed into Scottish legislation. So while it is important that we look at national parliaments – and I continue to welcome the emphasis we give to that – we should also now consider how we might embrace the regional parliaments in our work."@en1
