"Mr President, I voted for the report but, both personally and on behalf of the Pensioners’ Party and as a convinced Europeanist, I ask that the Council should have less powers and Parliament have more powers. We know that the Council is elected by those elected by the citizens, but the European Parliament is elected directly by the citizens. We are Europe! Parliament should have the power to legislate, and the Council can have some little legislative duty that affects all the Member States, like defence and foreign policy, but not too much. I therefore insist that everything possible should be done to give the European Parliament all the power it deserves, as against the Council, whose powers should instead be reduced, since it does not deserve them."@en1
