lpv:translated text	"Mr President, in its assessment of Slovenia’s National Reform Programme, the Commission wrote that no major structural reform had been agreed to in the previous year. In the interests of strengthening market forces, lasting fiscal consolidation is now more urgent than it was a year ago. Although I agree with most of the Commission’s analysis, I cannot support it, mainly for two reasons. Firstly, what I find to be missing is an analysis of the implications of the austerity measures on people’s welfare. Nor is there any pressure for reform of the labour market with a focus on young people and youth unemployment. This is not only lacking in Slovenia’s assessment, but also in most other assessments. I call on the Commission to include as soon as possible the issue of youth unemployment, as one of the sub-objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy, in the European Semester. Secondly, as a member of this Parliament, I have virtually no impact on the European Semester process, which is currently used to put pressure on Member States and impose long-term policy prescriptions that clearly violate the subsidiarity principle. We need to open up a political debate on the Commission’s prescriptions; we need to improve the democratic legitimacy of the European Semester and we need to narrow the gap between the European Parliament’s voice and that of the Commission or the Council with an interinstitutional agreement."@en1
