"I voted in favour of this resolution on guaranteeing independent impact assessments. I agree with the rapporteur that impact assessments (IAs) are a key instrument in the legislative process, and one which European legislators should make greater use of in future. IAs show legislators the possible consequences of their policy options and help them make a decision. IAs can thus make a significant contribution to better law making. However, they can in no way be a substitute for political debate and the legislator’s democratic and legitimate decision-making process. It should be pointed out that IAs merely contribute to the preparation of the specific content of a political decision. It is important for IAs to be completely independent and transparent and, moreover, the consequences for small and medium-sized enterprises should be taken into account. Parliament already has the power to issue its own IAs and submit Commission IAs to thorough scrutiny. Hitherto, however, this procedure has rarely been applied. I agree with the position set out in the resolution that the European Parliament should make greater use of the powers it has been given in this field."@en1
