"Mr President, Europe is capable of showing solidarity, as it demonstrated in connection with the tragic events in Portugal. Europe’s leaders can, however, behave selfishly at times, as was the case when Mr Chirac, Mr Schröder and Mr Putin met in Kaliningrad, a curious part of Russian territory. Subsequently, Mr Schröder and Mr Putin acted selfishly when they signed the agreement to build the gas pipeline. It is alleged that the purpose of the pipeline is to guarantee Germany’s energy supply, but that is only half the story. What Mr Schröder is about is supporting Mr Putin’s ‘divide and rule’ policy, which amounts to weakening the Union. The European Parliament should stand up for Europe and denounce this act for what it really is.
Europe needs decisions that transcend local interests. It will never become integrated if we do not adopt cohesive policies. It would be like trying to build a brick house without using any mortar."@en1
