lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, thank you to the Commission. The Commission’s policy is Lisbon. The Parliament’s policy is Lisbon, but Lisbon is not happening. We want to know why not, we want to see progress and we want to see that monitoring and enforcement. President Barroso talked about prizes. Let us have the Barroso prize for achievement each year for the Member State that has made most progress. Why not? Give them some encouragement. Where we do want progress is on some of the things in the programme. We obviously want it on emissions trading. We do not want to see it slipping any more than the one month he referred to. We want progress on climate change, quite clearly. We want progress both in terms of what we can do through legislative restriction on emissions and so on, but also what we can do to encourage individuals. So let us have the things like eco-labelling proposals coming forward. We also want some progress on the information to patients – Mr Verheugen’s proposal. We want to see progress on patient mobility and cross-border health. That is urgent. Otherwise, we are going to have lawyers deciding policy for us. We want to see that coming forward along with measures on patient safety, medical professionals’ information, work on hospital-acquired infections, work against the counterfeiting of drugs and so forth. We want to see that mental health proposal which has been promised and has not yet appeared. It was promised for this year. Let us have it please. That is an important step. Lastly, this week we have the very first World Diabetes Day – the UN has supported this, as have Member States, the Council and the Parliament. Let us have a bit of support from the Commission on progress on that as they see the symbol that we are going to erect in the courtyard of this Parliament tomorrow. Let that be a reminder that we want some action to support the many families, and children in particular, who suffer from that debilitating disease."@en1
