	WHITE PAPER ON THE 1996 INTERGOVERNMENTAL CONFERENCE VOLUME II (BE)
		Here the Belgian Government is prepared to accept transitional periods and to distinguish between the legislative and operational spheres; it favours transfrontier access to justice for the European citizen and integration of the Schengen Agreement into the European Union.
		The Belgian Government believes the decision-making process itself should be more efficient, transparent and democratic and proposes, as major improvements, extending majority voting to policies relating to the single market (social policy, the environment and taxation), extending Parliament's right of codecision and simplifying a number of existing procedures.
		The three governments affirm their unswerving commitment to defending the irreversible nature of the progress already achieved in European integration, and propose that this process should continue on the basis of close cooperation between states which voluntarily share their sovereignty and have, to this end, transferred certain powers to the common institutions.

		On 28 July 1995 the Belgian Government adopted a note on its policy for the 1996 Intergovernmental Conference as a subject for consultation with the Belgian Communities and Regions at the Interministerial Conference on Foreign Policy in September.
		On the Court of Justice, the Belgian Government favours strengthening the role of the Court by scrapping all the limits imposed on its jurisdiction in the new fields of cooperation under the Treaty, particularly as regards cooperation in the fields of justice and home affairs.
		Finally, on the language system, the Belgian Government does not want to change the arrangements in the Union's institutions and bodies even in the event of enlargement, to ensure that Union citizens will always be able to use their own language and receive a reply in their own language, in their relations with other citizens.
