lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, Mr President of the Commission, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to make two points. The first concerns the Seville conclusions on the reform of the Council: Parliament has been asking the Council to reform since before the Nice Treaty. When you take a small step forward, therefore, we are not going to oppose it. However, this is indeed a small step. A great deal remains to be done and I am not one of those people who think that you must not progress because of the Convention. Do not imagine, however, that because you are making progress, you will fully deal with the subject. If we can find a sound model for the reform of the Council without waiting for the reform of the Treaty, all well and good. However, Parliament will ask more of you and I hope that the Convention will make even more proposals, and I think it will, with regard to transparency and the implementation of a coherent presidency system so that the Union can take decisions effectively and democratically. My second point concerns growth and competitiveness with a view to full employment. Decisions have been taken and Parliament has made requests which merit further attention. We still think, and we shall continue to stress, with regard to the adoption of the broad economic policy guidelines, that the European Parliament should play a greater part in their preparation and that greater attention should be paid to its requests. References were made at Seville to the subject of services of general interest. I would therefore now like to express our concern over the framework-directive on which a specific commitment was made at Barcelona. The related rumours make me think that perhaps some people would prefer to wait for the reform of the Treaties before drawing up the framework-directive. We think this would be a mistake. We cannot afford to wait for the reform of the Treaties to draw up the framework-directive."@en1
