Responding to President Barroso's presentation of the Commission work programme for 2012, focused on jobs, growth and the single market, most political group speakers said Parliament and the Commission need to get back to the political centre stage and work closely together to lead the EU out of the crisis.
Priority actions for next year were discussed, including the introduction of an EU financial transaction tax.
Parliament will vote on a resolution on the Commission work programme 2012 during the December plenary session.
