"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I am very satisfied with the report by Ms Bastos, on which I voted in favour. Unfortunately, the severe economic crisis in Europe has had a negative impact on perceptions of the single market’s potential, among both citizens and businesses, and some governments and national political movements. There is a danger that this will cloud our vision of the excellent work done by the European institutions to revitalise and strengthen the single market, for example the wide-ranging public procurement reform and the revision of the Late Payments Directive.
I agree that there is a need, as Ms Bastos has stressed, to strengthen interinstitutional cooperation between the European Union and the Member States. Fundamental measures – such as the setting up of unitary patent protection – are all too often blocked or delayed by institutional conflict and national egotism. In a period of crisis like the current one, we need to take a united approach to governance, one which enables us to introduce the necessary legislation promptly, to revitalise the internal market and strengthen the rights of citizens within the European Union."@en1
