"Madam President, the Council wants to see more ambition so that we can strengthen competitiveness and increase convergence. That is only to be applauded, of course. I would like to join in the tributes paid to President Barroso for the way in which he has picked up the gauntlet and come here to give us an explanation about the competitiveness pact, something which has even managed to keep Mr Martin Schulz sweet today. That should not go unmentioned. You have picked up that gauntlet, together with President Van Rompuy. However, the pact seems to be having some difficulties getting off the ground, because Parliament, in particular, is having to deal with a sizeable legislative package. This is the first time Parliament has found itself in the role of colegislator when it comes to economic governance. That is why it is so important to link things together, because there is some overlap. In this House, ladies and gentlemen, we have tabled 2 000 amendments and, if we look at this, we will find almost all the matters covered by the competitiveness pact reflected in those amendments. This Parliament also wants to see more ambition and that is the very thing that worries me. How are we going to link the competitiveness pact with the EU 2020 strategy? Moreover, President Barroso, are you going to use our right of initiative actively, to establish a link between the competitiveness pact and the legislative package? If you fail to do that, then this House will pick up that gauntlet itself, in its role as colegislator."@en1
