lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, obviously, the President of the Commission did not think it would be worth turning up for this debate. I will direct the questions that I had for him to you, Commissioner. There are plenty of reasons for criticising what the Commission has come here to present to us – in fact, there are so many that they would not fit into this one-minute speech – but all I have to do is tell you to look around you. Look at the economic and social disaster. Look at the results of the policies that you have come here to tell are to remain in place. Questions need to be asked. How does the Commission justify the rigidity of a Stability and Growth Pact that an ex-President of the Commission has called stupid and that prevented real convergence for the sake of nominal convergence? How does the Commission justify the instruments enabling speculation on sovereign debt to remain essentially untouched? How does the Commission justify the recession, the unemployment, the robbery of workers and pensioners, and the despoiling of national economies under the cover of the aggression of the European Union and the International Monetary Fund? How does the Commission justify the destitution of an EU budget that makes a dead letter of any mention of cohesion in the Treaties? What sort of democracy is this, when it is now the markets – that wonderful entity – that make or break governments? I know all too well that asking you these questions will achieve little. I know all too well that the answers increasingly come not from Brussels but from Berlin."@en1
