"Mr President, I did not support the report on the single market regulations. It contained several controversial elements which I do not feel will positively contribute to the further single market integration that we all want to see. References to consumer, social and environmental objectives as criteria to guide fitness checks, impact assessments and evaluation processes of current and future EU legislation were absent from the initial draft report and had to be introduced by my group via 15 plenary amendments, which were sadly lost.
Furthermore, instead of emphasising the need for better regulation, regulatory action in general in this report is regarded as a bureaucratic burden. Subsidiarity is used as a tool to greatly undermine EU competences already agreed upon by Member States, eluding the possibility that action at EU level is justified in specific and detailed cases where it is deemed more effective than action taken at a national, regional or local level. Additionally, the wording on gold-plating could be potentially interpreted as a means to limit policies aimed at ensuring social, workers’ and consumer rights. Instead the report should have made a stronger call for greater clarity on how to transpose EU directives correctly in order to avoid extra costs for businesses, consumers and citizens."@en1
