"The main objective of Mrs Ferreira’s report is not to manage crises efficiently but to stop them being resolved by governments. It was fortunate, however, that governments took things in hand quickly, without waiting for the Commission to stir from its slumber, entangled as it was in its bureaucratic dogma, focused on competition and its hatred of subsidies, stunned by its inability to have seen the crisis coming, even though it was foreseeable for a year. European institutions were entirely useless in the emergency. Heads of State or Government had the courtesy to drag Mr Barroso into meetings that counted. However, whether you like it or not, decisions were taken at intergovernmental level. I am not saying that government decisions were perfect: they had the merit of being taken, and taken quickly. And I am certain that the report’s provisions can neither erase the failings of the past nor guarantee efficiency in the future."@en1
