lpv:translated text	". Mr President, there is an election in Denmark today. I hope that the new Danish Parliament will have members who take the trouble to read the Commission’s annual programme and the EU legislative proposals and consider them. For it is the EU that determines our laws, and it is sad to have experienced an election battle where the formulation of laws is simply not debated. Instead, in Denmark there have been discussions concerning municipal and regional matters such as food at playschools, education and hospitals. The Danish input into the legislative process within the EU is not being discussed amongst the elected people’s representatives; democracy is being drained as a form of government. The Commission’s annual programme should ideally be distributed for consideration by all the specialist committees within all the national parliaments and, in connection with this, all parties should take a position on what should be legislated at EU level and what should be kept under national jurisdiction. Proximity and necessity controls – or subsidiarity and proportionality to use EU jargon – should be considered by the national parliaments, first in connection with the annual programme and then subsequently when the Commission submits the various legislative proposals. This could connect the national parliaments with the EU and give citizens the opportunity to be involved before they receive a decree from Brussels, which has also promised to comply with the recommendations of the national parliaments, yet very few come. The national parliaments are asleep on the job, and it is depressing for those of us who are fighting for them, but it is good to see so many Commissioners at once."@en1
