"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I believe that this has been a useful debate as various Members have had their say regarding their positions on the alignment of the different regulations to the Treaty of Lisbon, thereby enabling us to confirm in the presence of the Commissioner how much Parliament cares about maintaining its role and prerogatives. It is therefore clear that in this context, irrespective of tomorrow’s vote – which basically does not diverge significantly from the positions initially raised by the Commission – it is just another step in the direction and along the path we need to travel, not only in order to implement into EU rules all the powers entrusted by the Lisbon Treaty, but also and especially in the direction of the new common agricultural policy. Commissioner, you well know how many times we have met under different presidencies. You well know how this path, when we got stuck on horizontal issues which ought to have included all the regulations and we had difficulty moving forward, cost us greatly in terms of effort, commitment and time. We now need to set off down this path again. Tomorrow is just an intermediate step in which Parliament, through its vote, wishes once again to clearly express its position and its desire not to surrender its prerogatives. On the other hand, we must begin to work to ensure that it is not alignment with the Lisbon Treaty, of all the regulations within the common agricultural policy, that prevents approval of the policy itself. We will agree on and debate the contents of the agricultural policy, this Parliament will do its part, but as regards alignment with the Lisbon Treaty, I think we can start work again immediately so as to speed things up."@en1
