"I have already had the opportunity to say in this House that it is time indeed that impact assessments be not only systematic, but, above all, credible. That we should objectively assess the consequences of a piece of legislation before taking it any further, rather than seeking by all means to justify it. And that it is not up to the Commission services, judges, parties and torturers all together to preside over this assessment. I do not know whether the solutions put forward by the rapporteur are the right ones. On the other hand, I do know that I agree with her diagnosis and that some of her observations are particularly relevant. Member States must therefore be closely involved in these studies because they are in a better position to assess the national impact of initiatives coming from Brussels. These studies must guide the choices and reflection of national parliaments, who, from now on, are the guardians of the respect for the principle of subsidiarity. These studies should lead to the abstention of the Commission, if its action turns out to be pointless, redundant or costly. Finally, we should be able to quickly draw the consequences of a piece of legislation, the implementation of which creates more problems than it solves. For all these reasons, even though I am under no illusions about its realisation, I voted for Mrs Niebler’s report."@en1
