lpv:translated text	". I abstained from the vote on this report because I feel that the reasons the rapporteur gave for ‘regretting the absence of fully effective connections between the European Institutions, especially the Commission, and territorial authorities within Member States of an internal-national, regional or local kind’ are not sufficient to justify launching ‘target-based tripartite contracts and agreements’. In fact, like Mr Berthu, I believe that the Community legal system already has a mechanism that enables us to pursue the same outcome through different means and that is the directive. In fact, this legal instrument, which is closely bound up with the principle of subsidiarity, (even though only on the implementation of means) could be an option for the areas that are suggested and which are economic development, environmental policy, transport, agriculture and fisheries, with the State itself remaining the sole and direct interlocutor of the European institutions. I believe that the measure recommended for raising local authorities to the level of direct partners of the European institutions forms part of the well-known process of European centralisation and of ignoring the States and I predict that, if the practice of concluding such contracts becomes widespread, the complexity of interinstitutional relations will increase disproportionately, as will the related bureaucracy. This will lead to chaos. I acknowledge the Commission’s prudence in proposing the adoption of experimental pilot programmes, which will be subject to the future presentation of an evaluation report."@en1
