"Mr President, the euro crisis has led some to demand more centralisation, but others are calling for more European localism. These ideas are not incompatible! Localism is not Eurosceptic opportunism or protectionism; far too often, decisions are taken by this House without even considering whether that decision could be taken locally or nationally.
The resulting legislation often adds bureaucracy costs and stifles investment. Yes, we need to mend our public finances, but we must also improve competitiveness and cut those costs. For example, we do need international agreement on banks, but we do not need every mortgage offer to every resident in every country to be identical. Yes, we should work together when necessary, but we must also give back responsibility to our citizens and our governments wherever possible."@en1
