"Madam President, from the outset, a very large majority in the European Parliament supported the European Semester procedure, which it saw as a very promising procedure designed to promptly bring national budgets and structural reform programmes into line with the targets for growth in the European economy in particular, rather than with EU objectives in general.
However, if we are to be able to make the necessary structural moves in time, we need to learn a number of initial first lessons from this procedure. During the first application of the European Semester, we had a text on substantive divergence on the part of the Member States from growth targets based on the EU 2020 strategy of rather restricted orientation and failure to comply with certain recommendations made by the Commission for each of the Member States at the Council’s initiative.
As delays, failure to apply decisions on time and, most importantly, the lack of cohesion between the various Union policies seem to be developing – as other speakers have said – into a fundamental problem for the Union in the present crisis, we want to insist on this point. We insist that, within the framework of the European Semester, we need a substantive and weighty proposal for viability and growth and the full application of the Community procedure, with the European Parliament involved at all stages."@en1
