    The European Parliament voted 394 to 45 with 56 abstentions in favour of the resolution, by Mrs Pervenche BERES (PES, F), supporting closer co-ordination of economic policy in the eurozone. The House takes the view that this should involve not only the European Finance Ministers but the European Commission, which is encouraged to use its right of initiative to put forward policy proposals.

    PURPOSE: to present a Commission Communication on strengthening economic policy co-ordination within the euro area. CONTENT: Economic policy co-ordination within the euro area is based on consensus. It does not aim to impose a decision on a particular Member State but to convince it to apply the policy deemed to be desirable. It comprises three main elements: - a common assessment of the economic situation; - agreement on appropriate economic policy responses; - acceptance of peer pressure and, where necessary, adjustment of policies being pursued. Against this backgroind, the Communication identifies the ways in which its content and procedures can be improved and proposes that they be made more transparent. The propositions outlined include improving the common assessment; common rules of conduct; a strengthening of transparency and ex-ante co-ordination; adequate co-ordination instruments; more efficient functioning of the Eurogroup; institutionalising the dialogue between different actors and finally, increasing transparency.�
