lpv:translated text	"I have voted in favour of this report. It is very positive that, in recital G, the European Parliament clearly states ‘that the protection and strengthening of regional and local autonomy in the various European countries represents an important contribution to the process of European integration based on the principles of democracy, proximity and decentralisation of power’. Because I have for a long time advocated this on the basis of my local authority experience, I sincerely welcome the fact that the report also requires that a well thought-out European constitution should define in what way the principle of subsidiarity is to be exercised, applied and monitored. It is sensible for a tool to be made available to local authorities and to districts/regions/constituent states, enabling them, via the relevant Member State or the Committee of the Regions, to require the EC Court of Justice to examine whether the EU has exceeded its powers. Another important perspective, directly relevant to the citizen, is included in recital H, emphasising that the ‘hierarchical and pyramid-shaped’ configuration ‘of the Union’s institutional system … must be abandoned’."@en1
