"I will today repeat the words that I have used before on this same subject. ‘I fully support the ongoing effort to develop legislation for Europeans that is simple, transparent and understandable. Despite well-intentioned declarations, rigorous studies and clear reports from numerous institutions, the truth is that European legislation continues to suffer from the ills that are frequently pointed out: excessive volume, unsuitable complexity, unintelligibility, and a string of remissions. This fact not only distances Europeans from decisions made at European level, it also feeds the debate – not always very reasonable or rigorous – regarding European intrusion into matters on which it would not pass judgment or legislate if there were more careful compliance with the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality’. Yesterday, we heard President Barroso talking about strengthening democracy and praising the principle of subsidiarity. I heard him state that not everything can be a priority. He is correct. We should be capable of producing less, but better, legislation because that is the only way we will serve European citizens."@en1
