lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would just like to say that I voted for this message to the Convention on the recognition of the role of the regions and local authorities in European integration. The Convention has been rather silent on this point. Given the phenomena of regionalism, devolution and decentralisation present throughout Europe, the importance of the regions is clear in practical terms. The Napolitano report may well have needed more genuinely federalist solutions, taking the principle of subsidiarity to its most far-reaching, logical conclusion: this is a goal to be achieved in the coming years. I regret to say that the expectation that regional electoral colleges would be set up for the European elections has been disappointed in the report, the call for the direct participation of regions with legislative powers in Council meetings has been disappointed and the proposal to give regions direct access to the Court of Justice has, regrettably, been rejected. These are issues to which the Convention will have to return for the good of regionalism."@en1
