27/10/2011 (Agence Europe) - Marcos Sefcovic underlines importance of national parliaments. Addressing Italian MEPs on Wednesday 26 October, European Commissioner Maros Sefcovic said the role of national parliaments had a role to play in European decisions. “Delivering results for our citizens requires hard work and the mutual commitment of national and European institutions. And it requires a continuous dialogue to ensure that decisions are firmly anchored. We need to recognise that the answers lie in working together and challenging each other through our common institutions - not in a retreat into fragmentation and inter-governmentalism. We are deeply interdependent and our approach must reflect this”, he explained. (LC/transl.jl)
