"The report before us addresses the strategy of the internal market, an issue of key importance to the EU.
The report sets out the tasks that must be carried out by the EU, or, to be precise, by the Member States on an individual basis. The various areas of action encompass key questions in the pursuit of the most important aim, which has always been the continued development of the internal market.
We welcome measures aimed at reducing contraventions of Community rules and those that promote the opening up to competition of the energy, transport, telecommunications and postal service markets. It is equally important that we succeed in developing competitiveness, with a view to increasing growth and jobs. I should also like to highlight those proposals that will lead to a reduction in tax obstacles and to greater transparency in public procurement.
Given that this report will help to achieve what we hope will be a perfect internal market, in its various facets, such as persons, goods, services and capital, I voted in favour.
I should also like to point out, in this regard, that the sovereignty of states is a prerequisite that has always underpinned the construction of the internal market. This has remained the case throughout the phases of development that it has undergone. Sovereignty must be safeguarded.
I am therefore in favour of the Miller report."@en1
