"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, firstly, I welcome the fact that, with this joint motion for a resolution of all groups in the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection, we have succeeded in putting together a common position of the European Parliament for the forthcoming proposals for the Single Market Act II. I believe that the fundamental issues which, for us as the European Parliament, will be at the heart of the consultation on the various legislative proposals in connection with the Single Market Act II in the coming weeks, have been incorporated into this document with all the necessary consistency and clarity. I believe that the motion for a resolution also demonstrates that, although the internal market has been part of Europe for quite some time, it continues to have great potential and also growth potential for the European economies – up to 4% for 10 years according to the Commission. That is why I believe it is important that the European Commission makes it clear that the time for talking about the implementation of internal market legislation is over and that it is now time for action. It is important that the European Commission keeps on reminding all those Member States – I think one can safely say almost all of them – emphatically and repeatedly of their obligations and, if these obligations are not complied with, takes legal proceedings against those Member States by all possible means. The Member States contribute to the legislation through the European Council of Ministers. There are therefore no excuses for not implementing internal market legislation correctly and quickly. That is why I was somewhat surprised when, this morning, the President of the Commission proposed that we conclude an interinstitutional agreement for the implementation of priority areas. I doubt that we need an additional agreement for the internal market. For this area, we chiefly need a European Commission that implements what the Member States have promised. Mr President, I believe that, to achieve this, we need a horizontal strategy, and the Commission has already started along this road with the first Single Market Act. I believe that we need good, credible impact assessments, we need to focus on priority areas and, Mr President, Commissioner, we need real control over implementation through improved single market governance."@en1
