lpv:translated text	". The VVD delegation is satisfied with the report and hopes that it will send a powerful message to the Commission and the Council about the need for Europe to become, by 2010, the most competitive knowledge-based economy in the world. If that is to be made possible, the European economy will have to be given adequate opportunities. Such opportunities are provided by the amendment to paragraph 33 adopted by the Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market, which emphasizes the need for deregulation and for the reduction in the administrative burden for businesses, as well as the need for an independent advisory body to be set up to examine the practicability of EU legislation and its effects. Becoming ever more detailed and sometimes intrusive, EU law is resulting in great dissatisfaction on the part of the business community and the public, which erodes support for Europe and has been shown to be one of the reasons behind the poor response to the European elections. The distortion of competition brought about by the profusion of administrative burdens laid on European firms means that economic regions such as the US and China represent an economic threat to our jobs and prosperity. The VVD delegation, as part of the Group of the European Liberal, Democratic and Reform Party, has voted against the Group of the Party of European Socialists’ Amendment No 12, not out of any opposition on the part of Liberals to the principle of equal treatment, but rather because Amendment No 12 would replace the version of paragraph 33 that we want to see."@en1
