"Mr President, if you perhaps try to explain what this is all about to a young female citizen of the European Union and to a middle-aged male one, do you not inevitably end up making comparisons with the Soviet Union and telling them that we are dealing with a seven-year plan rather than a five-year one? Is it not the case that the decision-making machinery is very much comparable to that which then operated in Moscow, with the difference that lobbyists are now involved? And if you turn it around and tell them that you understand the European public’s need for money, and then consider the priorities and say: right, I really do want to double the education budget; I do want to double the research budget – how, then, my dear Commissioner, do you make that transparent? How do you set it out? If you do not manage to make it clear what we need all this money for, public support will certainly be denied to you, and Europe will slide even closer to the brink of disaster."@en1
