"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we voted against Mrs Thun Und Hohenstein’s report. This Parliament is fixated on the number of transposed directives, the famous Internal Market Scoreboard. Nobody ever questions the intrinsic quality of this legislation, or even the real need for or relevance of the 90 000 pages of text which represent what you call the ‘ ’, or of the approximately 1 700 directives concerning the internal market. No more so, by the way, than they are concerned about finding out whether the objectives headlined when these texts were adopted have been achieved, whether the impact analyses have proved accurate, and whether the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality have been respected. All the shortcomings are said to be the responsibility of the Member States, which nonetheless have less and less room for manoeuvre in adapting these documents to national circumstances, given that the most minute detail is fixed, while the treaties indicate an obligation to produce results but not resources. A little self­analysis and self­criticism would do the European institutions a power of good."@en1
