Derfor er det vigtigt, at institutionerne og deres arbejdsgang effek­tiviseres, således at EU bevarer sin handlekraft, samtidig med at de gældende fællesskabsregler bevares og udbyg­ges uden at forrykke balancen mellem institutionerne.
In this perspective, institutions, as well as their function­ing and procedures, have to be improved in order to preserve its capacity for action, while maintaining the acquis communautaire and developing it and also re­specting the balance between the institutions.
