"Mr President, in his book ‘The Constitution of Europe’, Joseph Weiler wrote extensively about how, in the past, the Court of Justice would systematically increase the field of competences of the European institutions without there being any democratic legitimacy for it and without the Court having been given a mandate by the Member States’ governments in this matter.
Thanks to this notorious judgment of 13 September 2005, criminal law is now, in fact, also set to become a European competence. As a consequence, the Court of Justice is wiping the floor with the competence restrictions of the European treaties. The Court of Justice looks very much like a kind of judicial Absurdistan peopled by other-worldly judges who are no longer answerable to anything or anybody. People are then surprised when our citizens, when they get the opportunity, show their displeasure by, for example, voting out the European Constitution."@en1
