"Mr President, Commissioners, ladies and gentlemen, I am delighted to have the opportunity to mention during a priority debate these three reports concerning citizens’ everyday lives. I would like, moreover, to congratulate our rapporteurs on their work and, more specifically, to mention the SOLVIT network.
The network has now been in existence for eight years; it has resolved many problems effectively and yet it is completely unknown. How many times have I had to refer people to this network, the existence of which they did not even suspect, even though this tool could strengthen the image of a Europe protective of its citizens’ rights.
I must admit – and I am very glad that Mr Barnier is here – that I understand that my country’s government does not really promote it. The increased number of cases would consequently be very tricky to manage for the sole trainee who, currently in 2010, is in charge of the SOLVIT network in France, a country which, it is true, has only 60 million inhabitants and which is only the second Member State in the EU from the point of view of the number of cases submitted in 2009.
Indeed, the resolution rate is amazingly good, but the time periods are dreadful, with an average of 15 weeks before cases are dealt with, which is five weeks beyond the maximum allowed.
I would therefore ask the Commission and the Member States to grant real financial and human resources and to conduct major information campaigns, aimed especially at businesses, which submitted no more cases in 2009 than in 2004."@en1
