For both of the above, success is dependent on sound European governance.

I would like to look at four aspects of this European governance.

This is an important contribution to the simplification of European governance.

European governance thus becomes more efficient and moves closer to the citizen.

Enlargement will extend European governance and standards to the entire continent.

If we are talking about good European governance in companies, we cannot continue to resign ourselves to this situation.

Seriously, what has become of the White Paper on European governance?

New European governance alone will allow us to defend the single currency, promote growth, employment and social inclusion.

Hence the question as to how such a regulation can make real the principle of reinforced local autonomy in European governance?

New European governance must assure three levels of intervention: a policy for growth, suitable financial instruments and emergency management.

They should become an example of modern European governance: consultative, transparent, autonomous and accountable.

So, in the first part on the new forms of European governance, the words 'federalism' and 'superstate' are not mentioned at all.

That is why we have European governance and why you are seeking to push through the institutional changes, choosing a different method.

I sincerely hope that this time, narrow national interests will not again resist the need for closer coordination and an effective system of European governance.

The regional and local levels of European governance are important co-owners of Europe's future.

It is a chance to strengthen it - a step forward for joint European governance, not a step back.

I also feel that account must be taken of this issue in the White Paper on European Governance.

European governance is the sine qua non of the success of our common project.

A White Paper on European governance really should have been submitted to Parliament first.

The time has now come for Europeans to learn lessons from these events and to call for radical reforms of European governance.

Promoting simplified, accountable, and fair European governance.

The next item is the Commission communication on the White paper on the reform of European governance.

We need European governance.

As we have underlined in the White Paper, European governance standards for the collection and use of expertise need to be improved.

In order to save the euro, political institutions need to be strengthened and intergovernmental logic needs to be left behind to allow for European governance.
