lpv:translated text	"Mr President, delighted as I am with Mr Hökmark’s report on European State aid reform, I should like to thank him warmly and join in the broad support he has received here in this House. I fully endorse the Commission’s chief message of less but better-targeted State aid, as well as the fresh policy’s mainstays of innovation and research. I am looking forward to the Commission’s concrete proposals on this score. The Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs will be closely monitoring the Commission in the next few months and we will gladly enter into dialogue with it, because I hope that the Commission will issue more detailed guidelines on the definition of State aid so as to guarantee more legal certainty and prevent misuse at the same time, because innovation should be what it implies, rather than a licence for certain Member States to carry on as before. I am also pleased that the majority in Parliament wants to go further than the Commissioner, by doubling the minimum threshold at which point State aid must be reported to Brussels. This cuts out much of the red-tape and administrative burden, which will mainly benefit SMEs. I would ask the Commissioner if she is prepared to accept Parliament’s proposal. Commissioner, we in the Netherlands have been familiar with your determination for much longer, and I should like to thank you for the determined manner in which you are reforming State aid. I would urge you to keep up the good work, for much remains to be done."@en1
