"Mr President, the concepts of subsidiarity and proportionality are basic aspects of the policy-making process within EU institutions. The subsidiarity control mechanism which national parliaments have helps make the process more transparent. The majority of the Commission’s proposals have been adopted by national parliaments without any significant discussions taking place about subsidiarity. The only proper debates about the way to interpret subsidiarity have taken place between Parliament and the Council, ending up with a suitable balance being found between the responsibilities of the EU and those of Member States. In practical terms, it can be seen that implementing EU legislation is still a problem nationally, and I think that better communication between national parliaments and the European Parliament could improve this situation. The report touches on a number of issues which are particularly important for Parliament. I should mention among these the need to revise the interinstitutional agreement on better law making, adopting legislation on SMEs and, last but not least, making further improvements for better law making. As shadow rapporteur for the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats), I should mention that there were no disagreements in the Committee on Legal Affairs between the main political groups, thereby enabling a compromise to be reached which will help clarify the reversal of the burden of proof for certain groups of businesses, which is something I would thank the main report for."@en1
