Brussels, 08/05/2002 (Agence Europe) - In a press release, the CDU members of the EP, Harmut Nassauer and Karl von Wogau strongly oppose the "request" made by the Commissioner for the Economy and Finance, Pedro Solbes by which in future "Commission documents" (on the budgetary policies of Member States) could only be rejected through unanimity". This would mean in practical terms that Commission recommendation "could never be overturned and would have to be directly implemented by Member States", they state, predicting the suggestion that should be made in the document on the future of Europe now announced for 22 May, by which instead of addressing recommendations to Member States, the European Commission would in future have a right of proposal on this issue (yet, to reject a Commission proposal, there needs to be unanimity in Council). The Commission must remain the guardian of the treaty and the Stability Pact, but a Commission which would de facto be "all powerful in economic and monetary matters is not acceptable", say Messrs. Nassauer and von Wogau, noting that the Commission "increasingly sets out, in too detailed a manner, too many economic parameters", which, they say, leads to the risk of a "planned economy at European level". The European Convention, they say, "must also clarify the future distribution of powers between the Union and Member states regarding economic policy".
