"Madam President, I consider the Andersson report to be a brave move on the part of the European Parliament, because what is at stake is a balance between legal principles and political perceptions which bears directly on the lives not just of the workers, but of all citizens. It is no accident that the cases which we are debating crystallised the objections both of legal circles– believe me, I am a lawyer and I know – and all the citizens of the European Union who feel that the European Union does not understand them. As we have heard, they were one of the prime reasons why the people of Ireland said ‘no’ to the Treaty of Lisbon. And yet, strange but true, it is precisely the Treaty of Lisbon that would most probably be a solution in this case, because it would put the interpretation of the corresponding provisions in a different light. The social clause and the special clauses in the Charter of Fundamental Rights would most probably force the Court to take a different view."@en1
