"Madam President, it is interesting to read this report. You almost get the impression that the EU is a promised land, where the streets flow with milk and honey. There is no limit to the good things that we offer citizens here: free movement, a social market economy, progress, a high level of competitiveness, full employment, high environmental quality, and so on.
Unfortunately – and rather strangely – there is not a single word about how we want to achieve all of these good things for our citizens. Nowhere is it explained how we are to achieve all of these objectives. Looking around the EU’s territory, all I can say is that it is probably not going very well! Rarely has the EU’s competitiveness been worse than it is today. Rarely has employment been lower than it is today, and rarely has free movement operated as poorly as it is doing today. Nevertheless, one fine statement after another is adopted here in this House that bears absolutely no relation to the reality that citizens outside this House live in. Perhaps we will get the two ends to meet sometime in the future."@en1
