"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, in the light of the referenda in the two countries that have just said no to the Constitutional Treaty, a more democratic strategy seems necessary. It is time to prove it, in the matter currently concerning us. First of all, I shall ask that the Council be invited, as proposed in paragraph 4 of the resolution, to indicate the positions of the national delegations, duly named, within the framework of the legislative process, instead of keeping them secret, including from the European Parliament’s rapporteur, and this with the peculiar notion of protecting the effectiveness of the Institution’s decision-making process. Secondly, the text seeks to make the debates of the Council public, when it is acting in a legislative capacity, and this would enable us, in particular, to know what it thinks of the amendments tabled by the European Parliament. For example, I gather that the opinion of the European Parliament concerning the framework decision on racism, which dates from 2002, that is to say from three years ago, has still not been examined – or, at least, it had not been last week – by the ‘Justice’ Council. Thirdly, as indicated in paragraphs five and six of this resolution, the text seeks to include the European Parliament when the European Union concludes international agreements, since these agreements are not even referred to the national parliaments. Finally, I would point out that the European Parliament has already asked, during the preceding session, to be included, within the framework of the codecision procedure, in the creation of the future Agency for Fundamental Rights. Finally, we can only deplore the disastrous financial perspective for this area. As the rapporteur and on behalf of the committee that it is my honour to chair, I call upon the President of the European Parliament to submit these demands to the next European Council and to the future British Presidency. When the new Commission was appointed, we had asked for a review of the regulations concerning transparency. We were told that it was too soon. I can only conclude, in the light of the international ballots, that it is perhaps too late. Someone has to take responsibility for that."@en1
