"Madam President, quite apart from Parliament’s political existence, what is at stake here is the whole question of the balance between the European institutions. Do we want the future of Europe to be decided tomorrow behind closed government doors or do we believe, more than ever, in the need to build a democratic Europe?
Madam President, you have chosen to disregard Parliament’s opinions and votes, in order, I believe, not to upset the Council. You had the historic opportunity to gain your independence and thereby to help increase the Commission’s authority and that of our Community method. You chose to do the opposite. This is something that we must not and cannot accept because, quite apart from our own Parliament’s powers, what is at stake here is the very question of Europe’s democratic future."@en1
