lpv:translated text	"Mr President, in his original draft report, our rapporteur, Mr Napolitano, quite rightly described the dual challenge of taking account of the citizens’ attachment to their regional and local roots and, in moving from fifteen to twenty-five Member States, avoiding any weakening of the institutions’ operation. Regional and local authorities should therefore be offered the opportunity to contribute to the creation of Community policies and, where appropriate, to promote them, without ever replacing the Member States and the peoples of the Union, upon whom alone political and legal legitimacy rest. The European Union should not interfere in any way with the territorial organisation of its Member States. Furthermore, the Member States are completely free to organise, each for their own part, the participation of the regions in their decision-making processes. It should be the role of the Committee of the Regions to consult the regions at Community level and defend their interests. This process should also apply to monitoring the principle of subsidiarity. Contrary to what Mr Wuermeling has just said, the Committee of the Regions did not until now have the right to involve the Court. Any other solution would inevitably lead to an inactive and ineffective Union. Since a close vote in committee has altered the delicate balance secured by our rapporteur, it now falls to Parliament to reestablish this by voting for Amendment No 17 by Mr Corbett, intended to replace the controversial paragraphs 8 and 9 of the motion for a resolution."@en1
