"Madam President, Commissioner, you should say to Mr Barroso that, despite the high ambition of what he said, we look forward to seeing his words converted into deeds and that what we therefore need, if we want to win back our fellow citizens’ confidence, is both better regulation, which does not necessarily mean less regulation, and what, in the English turn of phrase, is called the capacity to deliver.
In the field of the ecology-energy partnership, which the Commission is extremely keen to see put in place and which Parliament will most certainly support, we need to give some thought in advance to the resources required for bringing this about. These do not amount solely to that capacity in terms of competence that the Constitution would supposedly have given us, but also to capacity in budgetary and taxation terms. The Commission needs therefore to lose no time in setting to work on revising the financial perspective so that this exercise is not simply compensatory but is marked by an ambition equal to what is at stake for the European Union in the 21st century.
Of the 21 strategic initiatives, only one falls within the competence of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs: the idea of a communication – a further one – on social services of general interest. There is not a word about the proposal you withdrew from the Commission’s work agenda – a move unanimously condemned by Parliament. I am talking about the withdrawal of the proposal on mutuality. Ask Mr Barroso what has become of the initiative in this area. Parliament is awaiting a proposal.
In the area of financial markets, the exercise we are involved in is a dialogue between institutions. We had made some definite and practical requests concerning micro-credits, alternative funds and rating agencies. The Commission proposals have nothing to say about these subjects.
Finally, I would ask you to take relevant action in the field of accounting, so enabling the European Union to be equal to the ambitions we need to espouse."@en1
