lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, since I have not had the chance to engage in a proper political debate on the Commission’s actions, I will use this one meagre minute to express my disappointment with the Commission’s actions, which should be criticised in three areas, to my mind. The first area is budgetary policy and the Commission’s ongoing inflexibility in interpreting the criteria of the Stability Pact. This runs counter to the interests of the European economy and stands in the way of economic recovery. The second cause for complaint is linked to the inflexibility of this Commission’s actions with regard to competition policy, an inflexibility which is impervious to industrial logic and the interests of European industry. The third reason is linked to the Commission’s behaviour regarding the Intergovernmental Conference: while all those who champion the draft Constitution are closing ranks to defend it, the Commission has proposed a renegotiation of that draft Constitution at the Intergovernmental Conference. I am disappointed with the Commission, which has ceased to be the driving force behind Europe and become a burden, but I will now stop criticising it!"@en1
