".
Mr President, I should like to repeat that in the deliberations of the Council’s ad hoc group on the Stability and Growth Pact, the Commission actively supported a number of the amendments tabled by Parliament at first reading. Unfortunately, as I said in my introductory remarks, the Council did not take our advice on board. Against this background I can understand the position of the House with regard to some of its initial amendments. However, as I stated earlier, I think the common position is generally acceptable; it is broadly balanced and contains the essential elements initially proposed by the Commission.
Also against the background of the spreading scepticism surrounding the European project, it is important to demonstrate interinstitutional cohesion regarding this important reform project. Your agreement with the Council’s common position would help reinforce the pact’s credibility and political support, sending out a clear message of reform.
Finally, let me reassure you again that the Commission is firmly committed to implementing the pact rigorously and even-handedly. The adoption of the reformed pact will help maintain and enforce the solid basis on which that is done. We would like the European Parliament to join the Commission in encouraging Member States to pursue macro-economic stability. The Commission is committed to informing Parliament regularly about relevant developments in budgetary surveillance."@en1
