"Union for Europe of the Nations Group" is pledged to defend the nation state and is led by 12 French national MEPs and is opposed to further integration.

This group brings together various parties of differing political complexions who have formed a Parliamentary alliance to register as a group and thus enjoy group privileges, ie.
Medlemsstaterne skal også sikre, at falskmøntneri begået før 1. januar 2002 bliver straffet.
The constitution of the group is still under dispute.
På baggrund heraf har Udvalget om Borgernes Friheder og Rettigheder, Retsvæsen og Indre Anliggender med Charlotte CEDERSCHIÖLD (PPE, S) som ordfører udarbejdet en betænkning, hvori man støtter forslaget og anbefaler følgende yderligere aktioner:

For the EPP/ED, Hans-Gert POETTERING (D) underlined his support for a strong Commission and, recalling the aims of Robert Schuman in founding the ECSC Treaty based on uniting nations, pointed to the supremacy of EU law and the role of the Commission as guardian of the Treaties and initiating legislation.

Arbejdsløsheden i EU er særligt høj i udsatte regioner i Frankrig, Italien, Spanien og Tyskland
While he did not feel that the Commission should back away from responsibilities that were considered too complicated, he was concerned about a tendency to postpone decision making through issuing more White Papers when there was a pressing need for action on a number of fronts.
Halvdelen af de arbejdsløse har været uden beskæftigelse i mere end et halvt år
He cited social Europe, equal opportunities, safety and quality of life as priorities.

He then took the Commission to task for issuing in its programme what seemed an endless list of projects.
Derfor opfordrer Kommissionen til at mobilisere den nødvendige politiske energi, så man kan få sat tingene i gang og dermed være med til at sikre Europas genfødsel.
In future he would like to see more evaluation with indeed the Commission indicating whether there had been successes and failures.
Mange er forhindret i at få et arbejde på grund af manglende færdigheder, navnlig inden for IT-sektoren
He agreed with the need to relate to European citizens and, as an example, he cited the issue of globalisation, which he said had an impact across the EU and needed not to be over regulated but shaped in a way that could be beneficial throughout the Union.
Beskæftigelsesgraden i aldersgruppen 55-65 er alt for lav
For the Liberals Diana WALLIS (Yorkshire and the Humber), too was concerned about the Commission's long list of proposals which he described as "indigestible" and seemed to lack direction.
Den fungerende rådsformand, den portugisiske premierminister Antonio GUTERRES, bemærkede, at EU står over for store udfordringer på grund af globaliseringen, de teknologiske omvæltninger og den stigende forsørgerbyrde på grund af udviklingen i befolkningens aldersfordeling.
The group, she said, would not be signing the 8 page list submitted as a compromise by the other groups, not on the grounds that she disagreed with it but rather that it was over complicating a process at a time when there was a need to send a clear message to Europe's citizens and simplify procedures.
Reducere den gennemsnitlige arbejdsloshed i EU til 4% i 2010
The details, she added, could be left to Parliament's committees.
Men til gengæld er EU et mere humant og retfærdigt samfund, og man kan ikke være konkurrencedygtig på længere sigt uden social samhørighed, mente rådsformanden. Han understregede imidlertid, at EU er markedsførende inden for to væsentlige områder, nemlig mobiltelefonmarkedet og digitalt TV.
For the Greens, Paul LANNOYE ( B) singled out social policy as one area where he felt there were gaps in the Commission's proposals and pointed out that there had been no revision of health and safety legislation since 1989 despite a report from the Dublin Foundation highlighting the fact that
%W & te4K*ti^$.tw & '?¿*v < - · -' τ?--t«·:, i ■■(.^enerene sager .
the situation was becoming worse in certain sectors.
íV*S\\'X*Ví.íí' teknologiske eller den sociale udfordring vente på et svar, understregede han.
He also complained about time taken to respond to initiatives, pointing to the civil liability White Paper which is only just being published as a response to a Parliamentary resolution adopted in 1994.
Kommissionen går ind for en sammenhængende politik, der integrerer tiltag på en række områder:
For the EUL/NGL group Lucio MANISCO (I)urged the Commission to take up consumer interests and attempt to eliminate transatlantic dispute.
Først og fremmest skal der fokuseres på mennesker. Uddannelse og indlæring skal tilvejebringe de færdigheder, som er nødvendige for at udnytte mulighederne på såvel det aktuelle som morgendagens arbejdsmarked.
Pat the Cope GALLAGHER (UEN, Connacht/Ulster) on the other hand, while acknowledging the importance of reforming the institutions in the context of enlargement, emphasised his support for smaller member states retaining the right to nominate a Commissioner.
Det er nødvendigt at bekæmpe den nationale egoisme for at skabe en ægte europæisk politisk union, understregede rådsformanden.
Furthermore, he added, from an Irish perspective, it was vital to retain the national veto over taxation questions.
