"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the European Semester will be the time of the year when the European Commission makes country-specific recommendations on the development of economic and budgetary policy. I consider it an extraordinarily positive development that we are moving rapidly from the general macro-level towards country-specific recommendations and also towards criticism.
However, Mr President, Commissioner Rehn, I believe that we also need to be careful. The debate we have just had, which Mr Obermayr considered rather country-specific, was, in fact, always in danger of meddling in things that had nothing to do with the European Semester. That is why I believe that we must be careful not to engage at this point in general criticism of specific countries or specific establishments in countries but to quite specifically address issues of economic, budgetary and financial policy.
I also believe that a second point needs to be made. The implementation of what we have achieved in the European internal market
is absolutely crucial and relevant for development in Europe.
Commissioner Rehn, we are going to hold the next debate on this issue straight away. Would it not be helpful, in the context of this assessment of the individual countries through the country-specific recommendations, to raise the issue of the implementation of internal market legislation? Without wishing to give the wrong impression – many other countries are involved, including Germany – I would like to say that Bulgaria, which has just been mentioned, though judged a model pupil on economic issues through the European Semester, needs to catch up, for example, in the implementation of the internal market
. However, Europe can only succeed if we take issues of budgetary policy, financial policy, economic policy and internal market legislation together. I would therefore strongly suggest that we investigate the inclusion of issues relating to the implementation of internal market legislation in the assessment of countries in the context of the country-specific recommendations."@en1
