May I first offer my sincerest congratulations to Mrs Wortmann-Kool on the work she has done on the economic governance package. The Stability and Growth Pact has been weakened; more serious and effective rules need to be introduced and less discretion shown to the Member States. Preventive actions are crucial in this respect, as they allow for situations to be prevented without ex post actions having to be taken. I agree with the report when it supports the Commission’s approach and extends the use of reversed qualified majority voting to block a Commission decision in the Council. Parliament’s goal must be to prevent the intergovernmental method from being used, but we must look at things from an overall perspective and, without watering down the regulation, find solutions to ensure that the Commission’s independence is guaranteed and that Parliament can be an actor and not just a spectator in the process, reaching a mutual agreement with the Council. I hope, in fact, that Parliament will reach a final agreement and approve the entire governance package as quickly as possible, in order to send a strong and unified message to the public and the markets and to stop speculation."@en1
