"The Lamassoure report () concerns the division of competences between the European Union and the Member States, something which constitutes one of the most basic issues for the Convention. Significant parts of the report confirm and clarify the current situation, but the report also includes other important features, such as a demand for open coordination necessarily to be accompanied by parliamentary control.
We support all the essential features of the report and the ambition it expresses to create a constitutional document which, without hindering the future development of European integration, clearly states in which areas the EU has exclusive competence and in which areas competences are shared with the Member States.
On certain points, we cannot, however, concur with the report. We do not believe that the pillar structure can just simply be removed in the way the report may be interpreted as recommending. We do not believe that the funding of the EU’s budget, its foreign and defence policies and the whole of the third pillar should be made competences of the EU. We also object to the European Parliament’s distinguishing between different regions by giving regional parliaments with legislative powers the opportunity to participate in the European Parliament’s committee work. We disagree with the report when it demands the right for the EU institutions and Member States to call upon the EC Court of Justice to give rulings on legislation concerning the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality. It is very important that these principles be complied with and respected, but they are political rather than legal in nature."@en1
