"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I think it is important that we as the European Parliament grapple very hard with the European Semester – after all, we introduced it when we negotiated the ‘six-pack’. Why? I believe that we in Europe have not been suffering from formulating the rules of the game together but rather we are suffering from the fact that, in the end, the rules are not being applied as they were formulated at the European level. Parliament ought to lead this process very strongly and also to continue to touch on the sore points where things are not working as agreed. I think that the report before us – for which I would like to thank the rapporteur, Mr Gauzès, in particular – provides an important indicator of what can be improved in the interaction between Member States, national parliaments, the European Parliament, the Commission, which must oversee the whole procedure, and the processes that then take place in the Member States. We must now cooperate to use all the euphoria, the spirit of optimism – that is right, we want to make things better for the future – and this momentum, if we want Europe to learn lasting lessons from the financial, economic and national debt crisis. There are many, many important contributions here, both in the individual reports from the Commission to the Member States and in the work we at Parliament have produced. Many thanks to the rapporteur for this. The Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) emphatically supports this report. However, over the coming weeks, months and years we will ensure not only that many documents are written but that policy is implemented in the interests of European citizens and taxpayers."@en1
