"Mr President, President of the Commission, these are important issues you are addressing. There is good reason for returning to them and developing this debate. I look forward to such a debate’s being held in a few weeks' time with more detailed proposals concerning your priorities.
Allow me to thank you for your contribution to the new procedure we have now brought about. Above all, I want to say thank you to the Vice-President of the Commission, Mrs de Palacio. We now have a timetable and new procedures for bringing about better cooperation between the Commission and Parliament when it comes to the annual legislative and work programme. I believe that this interaction in the form of a partnership will operate extremely well, that it will be easier for citizens and the rest of us to follow the procedures and that the follow-up will be better, etc. I believe that, as early as in a week or so, Parliament’s different committees will enter into discussions with relevant members of the Commission.
That is an important part of the work of reforming our various institutions, both for Parliament and the Commission. I should like to ask the President of the Commission how those in the Commission intend to proceed with the work in the White Paper, sent out in March of last year, on better forms of governance. Many of the issues affecting democracy and the future of Europe will be discussed in the Convention but, at the same time, we of course have ‘everyday issues’ which also fall under the working title, ‘better forms of governance’, for example increased openness, simpler procedures and increased participation on the part of citizens. I wonder if you can say something about those matters."@en1
