lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, this is my first opportunity, as chair of the committee, to contribute to the debate on the European Semester. I want to thank Jean-Paul Gauzès very much for accepting quite a number of the points my committee made. I was also pleased that Commissioner De Gucht mentioned the issues around the importance of the single market in underpinning future growth and dynamism in European economies in the context of the broader consideration of policies within the European Semester. Clearly the single market is somewhat different from the coordination of individual Member States’ budgetary policy, because it is a combined policy framework for the Commission and Member States, within which the Commission clearly has important responsibilities. It is important that the Commission and the Member States be called to account jointly in that process. However, as a committee, we feel from our experience since 1999 that now we have a Single Market Act in place – which has set down very clear, specific commitments about action not just to introduce or reform legislation at European level but also to enforce and implement the policies at Member State level – there is time to consider how to incorporate this more formally into the Semester process. We also have our own governance processes, such as internal market scoreboards, which clearly ought not to operate in isolation. We have some new ideas here which I am pleased that the rapporteur has picked up. We are doing our own report on single market governance, which will link into this, but I hope that over the next 12 months we may make some serious progress on integrating our thoughts about the single market into the broader strategy for growth and dynamism in the European economy."@en1
