"I would like to thank the President-in-Office for the reply, but I am rather disappointed that he was not able to give me more specific details about the number of proposals that they had been consulted on. The competitiveness, or rather, the declining competitiveness of the European Union is the biggest challenge that we are facing. His report rather smacks of complacency. Could he assure us, first of all, that the Competitiveness Council is taking an active role in looking at Commission proposals that fundamentally undermine Europe's competitiveness, particularly in the fields of chemicals policy, for example? And could he assure us that they are taking the Commission to account for producing proposals that have not been properly subject to the sort of impact assessments that the Commission has pledged to carry out to ensure that the business and competitiveness burden on proposals is properly looked at?
This Parliament is looking to the Council to take the issue of competitiveness seriously. His reply has not given me a great deal of confidence that it has the sort of priority that we expect."@en1
