lpv:translated text	"I too am suffering at the moment because of the game between Portugal and France, not, incidentally, France and England, as Mr Corbett predicted. This debate on the democratic control of regulatory acts signals a new era for European democracy. Europe is no longer intergovernmental and merely a negotiating area. It is an entity in itself and an area of integration. It wants to be a democracy with its own legitimacy, which is much more than the sum of the legitimacies of its Member States put together. This path towards a new era involves decision-making and implementation procedures. Ultimately, these procedures will be at the sharp end of the legitimacy challenge facing all political ranks. I refer to the challenge of transparency, the challenge of responsibility, the challenge of effectiveness, and the challenge of ensuring acceptance and trust among those at whom this is aimed. Parliamentary control of regulatory acts already provided for in a Constitution in waiting is more than putting the democratic power to legislate on a par with the democratic power to control. The European institutions are assuming that Europe must have the profile of a genuine European democracy and that a genuine European democracy is incompatible with implementing acts that are bureaucratically removed from the European citizens and their representative bodies. This is just a small step towards the sound construction of a strong, democratic European centre with decision-making chains that are permanently open to scrutiny as regards their legitimacy. It would be a good idea to involve the national parliaments in appointing national experts to the committees. In a European democracy, which is our project and our desire, comitology would set out the reality of networking that strengthens and does not detract from the legitimacy of the political union."@en1
